I. Embroidered pocketbook, 1774

This series contains one rectangular, embroidered pocketbook with foldover flaps embroidered with wool thread in green, red, blue, purple, and cream colors. The interior is lined with pink silk and has cardboard inserts. "FISHER AMES 1774" is embroidered on one of the interior flaps of the wallet. This object was most likely made for Fisher Ames by a female member of his family or a friend, possibly to commemorate his graduation from Harvard in 1774. A child’s leather glove that was inserted in one of the pockets is also housed in HUM 96 Box 1.
