ART NEEDLEWORK CATALOGS

Frederick Herrschner Inc.

Est. 1899

Chicago

Art Needlework catalogs shown here date from 1927 up until 1938. It is difficult to find information on Herrschners, the website is here and there is no mention of the company history.

Being a collector of sewing tools, I find catalogs/catalogues very useful in being able to date items - although some items were being offered over several years, you would still be able to tell when they originated.
It is fascinating to look inside these and I was spoiled for choice as to what I would show here, there are just too many wonderful things.....children's clothes, women's clothes, linens, all pre stamped and ready to embroider. And of course there are all of the supplies available to the needleworker, quilter, knitter, crocheter.......including pattern books, kits and gifts.

The first here starts at Catalog 27, Frederick Herrschner Inc. 6610-30 So. Ashland Ave., Chicago.
