Greetings!
Great images…and thank you for providing this fantastic educational/inspirational tool! In this recent series you mentioned the “diced bonnet.” Have you also noticed the standard, floppy, “Scot’s Bonnet” being worn by a number of the individuals? From a “history nerd” standpoint that’s pretty cool to see differing styles worn at the same time. (Sometimes there is overlap in fashion….)

The “shoehorn” on the floor looks like a potato dibber. Here are a few sites to check out. http://www.antiquefarmtools.info/page11.htm If you scroll down to April 11th the potato dibber looks very similar. http://justthoughtsnstuff.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
