B2Y,
I also have an old Hankies collection. Some silk, mast cotton Lawn. When my Aunt died I brought home her Hankercheif box which she had from her childhood. Only I recognized it as what it was. I had built a doll house, some of the furniture in it, used some of my hankies to make curtains. No I don't use them!! Gross,. I have Kleenex. My dad had white cotton hankerchiefs when I was a girl.
