Antique Horse Drawn Farm Equipt. & Wild Turkies!!

I just looked out my French doors and there is a WILD TURKEY wandering around my veggie garden! I must explain...I live on a 275 acre farm and we raise black Angus beef cattle. About 40+/- acres are in native forest ground & from there come flocks of wild turkey, herds of deer, a few bob-cats, pileated wood peckers and other wonderful animals & birds. We've even encountered a huge, all WHITE skunk a few years ago ... say "all white" but it didn't seem important (at the time) to roll him/her over to check the underbelly, so I'm going with the "all white" statement as unconfirmed fact!
All this is in connection with my "raging collectaholic" life style. At one time I collected antique horse-drawn farm equipment & with 275 acres, I have plenty of room to store/display these wonderful large and heavy pieces of local farming history. It was common to see deer, possums, rabbits, etc. sitting around the tall grass that grew under the farm pieces. American Gold Finches, Mocking birds, Scissor -Tail Fly Catchers, even a Ring Tail Hawk or two would use iron wheels for a perch. Collections of this nature are common in our rural farm area and some of our neighboring farmers keep massive Draft Horses for hobbies, pets and old fashion horse-pulls. They had an interest in my farm equipment for keeping their beautiful horses in top shape and for training young horses for shows, pulls, county & state fairs which lead me me to give away/sell some of the sulky rakes, John Deere planters & various other implements. I finally donated the remaining pieces to a local historical family farm site that once was the earliest & largest commercial farms in our county. My favorite piece in my collection was a massive & extremely heavy road grader that required 6-8 draft horses to pull and only one man to operate.
My poor husband (Bless is loving & patient heart!) would moan and roll his eyes when I would go to farm auctions only to send him back home and return with his large newer John Deere tractor with a loader to haul these wonderful old piece back to our farm. Of course the best part is the stories the original owners of the equipment would tell, if it was an estate farm sell the remaining family members each had story to share about "the time grandpa let me ride (or made me work!) the plow, drill, planter, etc. & we'd work all day, go back to the house for lunch and have worked 10 acres of ground by evening".
Collecting the antique farm equipment has been one of the most educational, enriching and heart warming part of my collecting 'career'. However age, time and lack of space has taken it's toll on me & my husband so my collections have turned to a smaller and less heavy turn, but the memories of the old farmers, their equipment and stories have remained.

Frustration!

I am at a lost!! Which for me isn't something new, but frustrating nonetheless! Bought a cute little silk beaded purse circa about 1930-ish ... no makers' mark whatsoever, except there is a tiny royal blue silk ribbon (inside the purse) held in place with a brass/gold-metal brad with the initials 'GS'. So I start my search on the 'world wide web'... (have you ever just typed in two initials & hit 'enter'? HA! word of advise...don't do it!) an hour later and upteen hundred pages later still no luck (go figure), then I typed in 'GS purse makers' ... double the upteen hundred pages and there you have it! I'm not any closer to trying to find the maker (you'd think the ribbon and initials would be an easy I.D.) the era OR the estimated antique value. I do believe it is American made and about the 1930s.
SO ... if anyone has idea of a way to research this piece or is a distant relative of 'Blue Ribboned G.S.' puleeeeeze contact me.
his is slowly becoming the same frustration I experienced when trying to research my old indentured land documents from the late 1700s and a will from a gentleman that simply signed (on his death-bed???!) it with an extremely scratchy 'XXXX'.
And this, gentle folks, is why I'm 'A Raging Collectaholic'!
