SUMMARY- The copyright date is very approximate. I suppose it could be from the late 1800s - all I am sure of is that it is pre-1925, when Belding Bros. merged with Heminway Silk. Most of the book is crochet, with a token tatting lesson and some very simple patterns, one of which is a medallion that can be tiled into two different yokes that is quite pretty.
