How many were around when she got this as a gift? It is a puzzle. But it is a striking piece.

Or perhaps great grandma... but it had a bunch of stones (8, I think) for all of the kids she had. ( They were farmers..so they had a LOT) I never knew why mom kept it, because none of those stones matched my brother or my birth month. And all of my Uncles are now dead. But I guess Nostalgia is a stubborn thing. Mom kept a lot of old stuff from relatives that my brother and I never bothered to hold on to. Guess it does not matter when we do not share the same memories. But Mom liked them... and Kept them. <br />The Great Ethan Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325538741317535595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-77127757837254061832022-05-20T13:09:40.709-05:002022-05-20T13:09:40.709-05:00Okay, another guess.
