Matthew Macleod Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I came across this lovely piece. Is this something that was a common practice or is that possibly a one-off? Rather unusual way of collecting tallies by turning them into a pillow? I must say it looks nice, IMO, but putting additional wear on antique cloth items is probably not the best idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2dresq Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Greetings, These pieces are quite interesting. There are several examples around. Some are from the specific sailor, some are just a jumble. Please show the reverse to see if the tallies are completely around the stuffing pillow. Here is another example which I purchased from emedals. Best Regards, JustinG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Macleod Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 The piece shown is something I came across in cyberspace- my apologies, I do not have the verso pic of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
