Snuff Handkerchiefs

This is not, except in so far as it promotes my books, a commercial site but there is a small business, run along traditional lines, that I have known all my life in Cornwall, which is about to close. Amongst other things, it supplies excellent, traditional snuff handkerchiefs, in the pattern and colours shown in the picture. They really are up to Jermyn Street standard: generous, nicely finished, twenty two inch cotton squares and ideal for use as handkerchiefs or, if you had a mind for it, as a neckerchief of the kind that Cary Grant wore in the film To Catch A Thief. The red ones need to be separately rinsed through as the red dye bleeds on the first wash. They are very reasonably priced and I have asked for the current price. Obviously any relevant postage would have to be added. I expect that, if they got enough orders, they might continue to supply them even after closure. I have set inquiries in motion, so watch this space. The only thing in this for me is to keep open a valued supply of these great handkerchiefs.
