1800's Singer documents on Etsy
Anybody interested in some 1860's-1870's docs from Singer, Co?
I was browsing around this morning and found a couple listings on Etsy, "Keep them as is, or use them in your art journals or mixed media work." Ouch! I have no idea what these are worth (if anything) but thought there might be someone here interested in these for their contents. https://www.etsy.com/listing/2347091...?ref=related-0 https://www.etsy.com/listing/2346836..._home_active_5 |
This stuff was printed in the 1860s! Let's make a collage!
I don't know how much paper is left from the 1860s and 70s but you would think it might be more important than just as raw material for an art project. Rodney |
Thanks for posting that, Sewnoma. I didn't know things like that were posted on Etsy!
I bought them. Not sure what I'll do with them, but I didn't want them turned into an art project. I wonder if there's a historical society that might want them. Now, to find the proper materials to store them in... Ila |

you never know what may show up. Earlier this year (or late last year) a collection of NOS brochures showed up on eBay. Seller was helping to sell off stock that was in a building that housed a sewing repair shop. Machines were long gone, but a lot of smalller stuff was still there. Shop had closed back in the 50's and nothing had been done with it since.
So I got several new condition manuals from the 1920's -1940's |

GOOD! :thumbup: I'm glad someone picked them up. I was tempted to rescue them myself, but I don't really have good paper storage set up and wouldn't be a very good custodian of them.
