What's it worth? Appraisal of antique sampler

London asks

 I sent through my payment to paypal for an appraisal. My mom got this sampler from a good
friend of hers in Canada.  Dont have much more information on it than that.  The colors on it are fairly
vibrant.  Please let  me know what you come up with.

Thanks, London

AW says:  This is dated 1813, although the date may not be visible here. This is a very well done sampler, but because it does not have docutmentation as to the maker’s residence, we cannot assume that it is a New England sampler, which generally are among the most valuable antique samplers.

Young woman were expected to have completed one of these in the , they are a sort of rite of passage.
