Description
My 90-year-old mother pulled this out of her cedar chest and says that it was sent by Slovakian relatives to my father as a child which dates it from the late 1920s-1930s. I am not sure if she is correct but we did have a Slovakian relative that visited in the 1960s during my childhood so it may date from then – at least 50 years old but could be many more. It has seldom been worn, stored for most of its life.
