Antique c. 1880s Miniature Sampler with Out of Order Alphabet! trump markers 6" long x 1 3/4"Oh, a sampler made completely after my own heart, with the alphabet arranged entirely according to the whim of the girl who made it! (Why shouldn't the Q follow the G and precede the P and then the B?) This makes me completely and totally happy. Someone more knowledgable than I dates it to about 1880s, and deciphered the name of the genius who made it as G. B. Chambers, spelled out on the last line, though there is a bit of thread loss on the G and B.
