I suspect this scarf dates before Singapore became a sovereign state in 1965.

#20 Sonbirds and FLower Emblems of Canada


Acetate, machine finished

I love bird watching, so this scarf is really appealing. My favorite: the troglodyte des forets, or the winter wren. I've loved that name since I heard it on Mr. Roger's television show. The goglu, or the bobokink is a close second.

Mirano glass paperweight design. One of my less kitchy scarves.

I date this scarf some time after the Dodgers made their move to Los Angeles, approx. 1962-64.

#13 High School Sports



Silk blend, hand rolled

The trophy reads 'Championship Won C.H.S. 1956'. Fun period uniforms - really short shorts on the basketball players. Pre-Brown vs Board of Education teams.

#6 Chinatown, San Francisco, CA


Rayon and silk, hand rolled, made in Japan. I like this one because I have a pillow case cover like it, and because of the asian-style writing.

#5 Chinatown, Grant Ave., San Francisco



Silk, hand rolled. Scarf signed by artist Tammis Keefe. One of my favorites because of the color choices and the mid century modern design style.

#4 Hep Cat



Silk or silk blend, hand rolled

Because of its smaller size, I'm not sure if this is a scarf or a hankie - does that make it a scankie??

#2 California


Rayon, hand rolled, made in Japan

Lots of misspellings.

#1 Aloha From Hawaii


Rayon and silk, hand rolled, made in Japan.

Hand rolled means that the hem of the scarf was turned under and hand sewn.
