According to the book Collecting Handkerchiefs,"perhaps the most unusual type of handkerchief is the round. Produced briefly in the 1940’s and into the 1950’s, the shape wasn’t very popular at the time. It is however, popular with present-day collectors who love to find these uniquely shaped hankies."
This pretty round hankie has blue carnations all around the scalloped edge and a large single carnation in the center. In Victorian times carnations symbolized, good health, affection, they are also the birthday flower for January. Hankie Measures about 13" across. This one would make a darling doily as well, or beautiful framed. Excellent vintage condition with no damage. Bonus hankie! A small 9" square vintage unused handkerchief. Hankie has large blue blooming poppy with pink and yellow flowers.
