Tatting - A Pincushin Motif from 1872 (With A Little Help From My Friends)

 

The above is from the Ladies' Own Paper, February 3rd, 1872. It has the usual instructions for magazines of that period, that is to say, minimal.  I posted it on a vintage FB tatting patterns group I belong to, and within three hours one of the members had it sussed out.  A hat tip to Kathleen J Minnitti, wherever she may be!
