Scarves/ hankies

Scarves have just begun to interest me, and as they are very cheap to buy they are quite a good thing to collect. As with my dresses, I am most interested in scarves from the 1950s. 

Hankerchieves are my newest interest - at about 10p per hanky they are definitely one of the cheapest things to collect!
