Title A name given to the resource Crochet Sample Book Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1898-1905 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 71.1 X 61.0 cm (28 X 24 inches) Description An account of the resource The book is sewn down the middle by hand with ecru thread, then folded in half. There is no cover or binding, suggesting the book was made for personal use. The crochet motifs worked in ecru or white thread are sewn onto pages made of shipping paper from yarn suppliers active during the late nineteenth century. Sampler books served as pattern references in the years before the advent of books of crochet patterns in the late 1800s. Most contain 100 or so motifs, so this one is unusually extensive. This sampler was a gift from my mother who responded to an ad in her hometown newspaper (Ft. Wayne, IN). She learned that the seller had discovered the book in a drawer of a chest she had purchased at an estate sale in Ohio. Sold to my mother for $40.00, Mother worried that she had paid too much! The book was appraised at $1,100.00 in 2000; and was dated based on the shipping paper. I was thrilled to receive it and mom was delighted that she got a real bargain!
