American school principal Jennifer Betts of Decatur, Georgia, inherited this pristine bellows from her grandfather who was an antique dealer. The bellows is signed and dated 1897. It is similar to one shown in J. W. Fosdick's 1896 article in the Ladies Home Journal and a wonderful example of his fine work.

If you have any questions or any information regarding this decorative bellows from 1897, please e-mail Jennifer Betts and the E-Museum Curator.
