Neat tatting pattern book with copyright date of 1941! I have always appreciated the art of fine tatting but didn’t realize there were different designs – with names – I just thought tatting was tatting. This book (23 pages) shows tatting designs of “Tradition”, “Wedding Bells”, “Butterfly”, “Fleurette”, “Debut”, and “Forsythia”. There are patterns/instructions for tatted boutonnieres, refreshment and luncheon sets, doilies, collars, cuffs, hankies, and so much more! The last page has tatting “h ...click for details

This is a super item that is not only very collectible but is very usable – it’s a handkerchief edgings book (15 pages) with a copyright date of 1949 and it’s a first edition! Some of the page headings are so cute – “Blow and Behold”, “Right on the Nose”, and (my favorite) “Will You be Mine?, Dainty edgings with come-hither ways”. Very good condition.

I purchased this little booklet several years ago at an estate sale. It's an advertising booklet for Old Reliable Coffee and it has amusing and charming little verses on each page that extol the virtues of cleanliness for good health. There are 10 pages with verses, 2 pages “Coffee as it Grows” and the back page is about Old Reliable Coffee. Booklet is in very good condition with some storage/use evidence on cover. This is a neat collectible and advertising item!
