DESCRIPTION:The little girl holds a doll and wears a gingham dress. The boy wears a military style (Zouave?) jacket and trousers as he holds the open dag case. Some light scattered wisps that can only be seen on an angle. In a Myron Shew half case and early thin metal octagonal matt. Shew also sold such materials so it is only probable that the dag came from the Philadelphia area. Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
