1908 Vintage Franks Needlework Embroidery Stamped Clothing Household Linens Laces Trims Catalog

I love  old needlework catalogs as they are certainly an insight into popular needle fashions of the day.  The Frank’s 1908-09 catalog is particular interesting as the products carried by the company are varied from many stamped household linens for embroidery to supplies of cloths, canvases, nettings as well as braids, trimming including lace trims. There are several pages of trimmings, each with identifying names, that for research, this catalog would be a useful resource. 

Thumbing through the pages towards the back of the catalog, I discovered  a couple of pages of pendants, beads and jewels for embellishment in a needlework or sewing project.  Again, I thought interesting.

The catalog consist of 66 pages of stamped household linens, including embroidered picture frames, wall pockets, and other type of bags. Lithograph pillow tops and cushions.  For example bags for shoes.  Clothing for babies, children as well as adults.  Fancy lace edgings, collars, embellishments and monograms.  Also included are yarns, threads and sewing tools.  Plus many other small novelty items.

The book measures 7-1/4" wide x 9-1/2" long.  All pages are in black and white.  Condition is good with normal handling over the years.  No torn or missing pages.

What's inside the book....here's a glimpse of a few pages......
