Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Original trade card with a color illustration of a young couple sitting on a swing made of a spool of Willimantic Thread. "Willimantic Linen Co." and other lettering and decoration is printed in gilt on one side of the depicted spool. No date, circa 1880s. 3" x 4 1/2." Trade card is very clean and intact except for age toning to front and back; a small scratch limited to the back, not affecting text; and a small, light dampstain in the lower-left corner.

The company became very popular and was known for its wide selection of thread colors. In 1898, the Willimantic Linen Company became part of the American Thread Company.

Many of these cards also incorporated elaborate designs, illustrations, and other decorative features. Trade cards became popular in the United States during the nineteenth century in the period after the Civil War. The late nineteenth century also saw the advent of trade card collecting as a hobby. While they are no longer in use, trade cards influenced the formation of trading cards and were the predecessors of modern-day business cards.…
