AboutHenry Babcock Expertise I learned needlepoint from my grandmother over 30 years ago. I can answer most questions on the subject. I know about producing needlepoint as well as cleaning, repairing and restoring.
Question How or where can I find out how old and the value of a colonial sampler that I acquired at an estate sale? On bottom it says: N.1007 pure linen colonial 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 vogue no. co . Its of a woman sitting in front of a fire place, and says: In heaven a noble work was done when god gave man a mother.
Answer Arcelia,
For something like that, I recommend that you contact The American Needlepoint Guild:
www.needlepoint.org
They should be able to put you in touch with someone in your area for an appraisal.
