They came as part of a large collection but with no indication as to what they might be. They are old and very worn, with velvet on one side and leather on the other. Both have a small round impression in the same corner – this can be seen at the top centre of the photo. The velvet doesn’t appear to have been regularly sat or stepped on, so we don’t think they are seat covers or some kind of mat/rug. We’re stumped. Any ideas, museum pros?</div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Sonia Nicholson</div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Archivist</div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span>Saanich Pioneer Society</span></div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span><a href="mailto:saanichpioneersociety@outlook.com" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">saanichpioneersociety@outlook.com</a></span></div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span> </span></div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span><span><image002.png></span></span></div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><i><span>Support the Saanich Pioneer Society by donating online at<span> </span><a href="https://www.saanichpioneersociety.com/" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">https://www.saanichpioneersociety.com/</a></span></i></div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </div><div style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-left:0cm;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </div></div><span><What_is_it_Thomson_fonds.jpg></span>_______________________________________________<br>BCMA mailing list<br><a href="mailto:BCMA@lists.vifa.ca" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">BCMA@lists.vifa.ca</a><br><a href="http://lists.vifa.ca/mailman/listinfo/bcma" style="color:rgb(5,99,193);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">http://lists.vifa.ca/mailman/listinfo/bcma</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
