content: One square of flowered calico cloth wrapped around a powdery substance and then tied with another piece of same cloth. Also another square of calico cloth. These were used in NHB Hall 11, case 15, Silversmiths Life Group, and probably in previous incarnations of this group dating back to 1893 World's Columbian Exposition? They are presumed to be exhibit props? Don Williams of SCMRE has identified the powdery substance as possibly parting compound for silver molds. Thus these objects are probably related to ET16594, molds for silver used in same exhibit.
