Thought I’d have a go at tik tok, don’t you just hate the sound of your own voice?

Moving in to our new house in SW France.

Map Of U.S.A. In French, 1940's French School Map Of America.
Large school map "Carte 19" showing U.S.A. Canada and Mexico, showing large urban conventions in 1940, also detailing mining deposits, rail road routes , major exports and sea trade routes.
This is a very interesting map and is set in its time, it is interesting to note that both Las Vegas and Orlando are not included.
There is some dog earing to the bottom corners of the map, and the cotton braid around the edge has become unbound in some places, please look at the photographs, I have tried to depict the worst of the damage.
There is a small tear on the bottom left hand side, again shown in the photographs .
All the map is in French and although most places are recognisable some will cause conversation.

Etats-Unis = United States
Ble = Corn
Farine = Flour
Bois = Wood
Sucre = Sugar
Or = Gold
and my favourite Philadelphie,

This is a double sided map and the reverse is also interesting, but I bet I know which side will be on display.
This would look fantastic in a loft apartment and even better if its one of the named cities.
The reverse side shows the railway infrastructure in more detail.

Victorian Wedding, Antique Communion Souvenir, Antique Bridal Purse, Linen Floral Crown, Antique Wedding Headband.
This is an exceptionally rare and beautiful first communion souvenir dating from the early 1900's.
It consists of a fabulous floral crown, hand made in linen and worn by a very proud girl on her first communion.
A ribbon sash worn I think across her chest, from waist to shoulder, with a lovely bow, I believe it to be silk.
A very pretty hand made purse.
A square of hand made lace.
Two little cardboard boxes with inscriptions inside dated 1910 with cotton wool holding antique wax flowers, the passing of the years has not been kind to these once beautiful flowers but they are original and still there.
Then there is the presentation or display box, with a glass panel, that's right you read it correctly the box has a piece of glass on the front of it to display its contents.
This was sold as a museum piece and the seller did not wish to sell the items separately , neither do I, I believe it should remain together.
The box is falling apart there is no other way to describe it, I am not skilled enough to repair it, and will leave it to the next custodian of this to decide what best to do to preserve it.

What could it be used for today, well its a fantastic display piece in its own right, and would be perfect in a wedding shop display window.

Or used by a bride on her special day if she had a vintage theme. Then kept as a special memories.
