Found some old rugs during my recent search and unfortunately not all provided me with age/date. So I'll start off with a cat rug which was hooked early 20th century. Shame the lady didn't pull a couple tails up in the middle of the eyes. She had some black, and at least it would have given the poor kitty life.
Actually my silly Rottie Panzer would and did chase butterflies and blackbirds. I recall one time while living in Columbia, MD and walking them at the ballfield he pulled up a wildflower and was taunting his mother Shumba with it enticing her to play. Another time the poor boy bent down to either sniff or look at a bee and got stung on his nose. I was scared all night for fear he would have a reaction. He was the goofiest 'most dangerous' Rottweiler alive, lol. Below is a photo of Panzer and his mom Shumba playing with a ball they found at the ball field, photo taken 2016.
You know I love horse rugs, but this one does nothing for me; it doesn't have a story. It is was hooked early 20th century and measures 26.5 x 34. But it is boring.
This looks familiar and may have been shown before. But maybe not all my readers have seen it. Father of his Country, 35.5 x 46.5 and hooked early 20th century. The rug sold at auction for $830 in 2011.
Well, folks, that's it for tonight. Will pull a couple more loops before hitting the sack.
