Descripción:

This is a wonderful vintage knitting pattern book for men's wool sweaters: "America At Work and Play", Book No. 188, for Chadwicks Red Heart Wools, published in 1942 by the Spool Cotton Company. This book contains ten patterns, including two which have instructions for father and son sweaters. The book, like nearly all advertising during World War II, makes reference to the war effort. The patterns are geared to both "work and play," and the work sweaters include those suitable for a "defense worker," and a "practical workman." The cover model stands in front a a sign that reads "take your place in civilian defense." But truly, these are beautiful classic sweater patterns that are just waiting to be revived. This staple paper-covered booklet is 23 pages, including back cover, and measures 8 1/2" x 11." There are ten sweater patterns, each illustrated with a blue-toned photograph. (Original photo-pictorial, stapled wraps). CONDITION : NEAR VERY GOOD - Front cover has a small stain and some very light rumpling to surface. Otherwise, clean and unmarked. These wonderful vintage styles will make you re-think today's fashion! Somebody, please recreate these beautiful men's wool sweaters! This style book is just waiting for the right creative genius! This is the original 1940s style book, not a modern reproduction. N° de ref. del artículo 290
