Sucks you're missing two bottles of the pills. Collectors go apeshit for that stuff.

I just don't know! I've heard that hair was used in pin cushions to keep the pins sharp/from rusting but that didn't happen here.

They used to make lots of items out of hair in those days. She probably braided/weaved things like watch fob and such.

I would have loved to have found a braided piece under glass or a piece of jewelry.
