SOLD Four Panel Victorian Sea Moss Specimen Collection, Rockport, Mass. pewter box with stone but the knowledgable dealer II love it when I find Victorian sea moss specimens that were collected in my neck of the woods these in Rockport, MA, just a few miles from me here in Ipswich, and the beaches of which I know well. And what a beautiful group of specimens, as ethereal and radiant as they come, perfectly preserved. With green silk ribbons at the corners joining each card to the next. 14 1 4" l x 4" t fully open; folds up to 4" x 3 1 2". Pretty much pristine condition.
