Table of Contents:  -  This book guides the reader through the intricacies of identifying a piece of lace, listing and illustrating the points to look for in each lace. It covers the whole range of lace from all parts of the world, selecting for examination those major types which the collector or dealer is most likely to come across or hear about.

This doily is approximately 11 inches across in an off white or cream color. I believe the center fabric is a fine linen, and the lace looks like it's handmade. I don't think it's crochet let. I tried to research this, and it looks to me to be similar to Venetian Point Plat Coralline. This needs to be pressed. No stains or tears.  Set of six hand crocheted 5 inch doilies or coasters. They were probably started to hook together to create a larger piece, but these make great coasters! The are laundered, but need to be pressed. Each is about 5 inches across, but they are not perfectly matched - very slight variations to each. Off white color.  This oval rug measures 22 1/2" x 36". The center is an elongated diamond shape, done in a royal blue. Around the outside of the center design are orange poppies, purple flowers, an open flower done in two different blues and flowing pale green leaves pm a light brown background. The binding is fairly crudely hand stitched on the back. One end has a small section that needs a repair (see photo). There are a couple of smaller areas on the outside that could also use minor repairs. This is made of rag strips (material) and not yarn. Overall though the rug is still in decent condition. These area rugs were commonly used at the side of beds or as small area rugs during the turn of the last century.

Small sewing machines have been sold as toys for girls for nearly 100 years. This booklet is for collectors of toy sewing machines, featuring pictures of 50 different machines, with descriptions, magazine ads and historical background. A price Guide is also included.  Somewhere out there, is a tablecloth missing a napkin. This pretty printed cotton napkin looks like a VERA design to me, but I don't see a signature. It is in perfect condition with no stains and measures 16 7/8ths by 17 inches.  This was actually never used. I purchased it about 10 years ago new, but it's been stored without use. It is not vintage. It measures approximately 52-56 inches square. Never laundered. I believe it's polyester.  This craft lot of vintage textiles are items that aren't quite first quality but are still usable for crafts or for personal use. You are getting 1 plain white cotton hankie (perfect condition),2 linen hankies, pink and white with crocheted edges with tiny spots. Next is a tatted edge cotton hankie, with tears on the tatting and spots and two holes. Then you have three printed hankies, one is faded but no spots, one has tiny spots and one has small fraying at two corners. There is one plain white linen hankie in MINT condition with drawn thread edges and one red plain cotton hankie with no spots or holes. Next is an appliqued dresser scarf measuring 16 by 16 1/2 inches. This is very clean and in perfect condition. Lastly is a nice standard size hand embroidered no iron muslin pillow case. There is nothing wrong with this either. You are getting all the pieces for one price.

Vintage table runner or dresser scarf with a lacy pattern, but I wouldn't categorize it as a "lace". I think of lace is being stiff, and this is anything but - it has a very soft drape to it. It may be referred to as Quaker lace but I am not a textile expert.  There are small loops every inch or so all the way around the runner. I believe these are used to block the runner when laundered, or they could just be decorative. It's an off white color and has no damage, pulls or stains. It measures about 50 inches long and about 12 inches wide. It is freshly laundered and hung to air dry, but I did not block it or press it.  Vintage almost white tablecloth with multiple cut work and drawn work areas, and I believe the edging is Punto Quadro. I am not a textile expert, but I believe these are the correct terms to describe the beautiful work on this table linen. It measures 33 inches square. It has been freshly laundered and air dried but not pressed. I believe it is linen. I examined it thoroughly and there is only one small spot (visible in the 7th picture) that I could not see until I viewed the closeup image - that is how small it is to the naked eye. There are a couple of small threads that are broken in some of the cutwork, but nothing that would cause you to not want to use and display this table cloth. I've included many images of the detail for your examination.  Vintage round crochet doily in off white with pansy trim. There is a small edging of a very pale green that connects the alternating purple hued and orange hued pansy edging. About 10.5 inches across, but may be a little larger when pressed. I checked this thoroughly and I do not see any missing or disconnected threads, and there are no stains. The colors are very lovely together.  This neat tablecloth is in MINT condition with bright yellow and gray flowers on an creamy white background. It is clean with no holes, rips or stains and measures 35 inches square. I would hazard a guess that it is 100 percent cotton.

This very neat vintage card table size tablecover and napkin set is ready for you to embroider and finish. It has some age on it but the original instructions are still there .

The table cloth measures 42 inches square (before hemming) and even has four napkins with fabric for appliques.  This lovely ecru hand crocheted mantle scarf measures 16 inches wide by 60 inches long. It is in mint condition.  This piece of gorgeous ecru Brussels lace is in excellent condition and could be used on furniture or clothing. It measures 42 inches long and 5 3/4 inches wide. It is absolutely beautiful.  This is one very cool textile. It is a barkcloth mantle or table - dresser scarf in a big floral print with fringe. The scarf is in overall good condition with three very tiny spots and no holes or rips. It measures 46 inches long (without the fringe) and 12 inches wide.

These fun 10 inch by 8 inch quilt blocks are in excellent condition and ready to finish and put together for a lovely little nursery quilt. 6 of the blocks are completely embroidered.  One is started and one is unstarted. The work on them is very nice and it shouldn't be too hard to match the colors.  This is a pretty potholder but not my colors. It was given to me many years ago by a friend and I just never wanted to part with it. The potholder is a nice heavy cotton fabric with batting and measures 8 inches in diameter. It is new, never used.  Collector Bookstore is a retailer of new books located in Leavenworth, Kansas. We specialize in price guides and reference books for the antiques and collectibles industry.  This Album traces the development of the spinning wheel, describes the principles of spinning, the spindle, the wool wheel and the flax wheel, the tools used in preparation of wool and flax, wool winders and other spinster's accessories.

Tracing the wheel's development, the author explains the principles of spinning and covers the spindle, wool wheel, flax wheel and the mechanisms of the U-flyer. Illustrations include spinning accessories such as the niddy-noddy and a wide array of tools for the preparation of wool and flax, both traditional and modern. The book also includes a representative survey of European and North American wheels that were used for the home production of wool or linen yarn. Packed with fascinating facts and photographs, this is a valuable source of information for craftsmen, collectors and historians.
