A salesman's sample portfolio from Crowley Bros., Importers, of Detroit, Michigan (Dept. 19), consisting of mounted swatches of cream and white bobbin and machine lace edgings, insertions, and embroidered nets. The samples are glued to pink, blue, and grey cards in two columns, each labeled by hand with style numbers and size, price, or date codes. Later pages show wider embroidered net strips, medallions, and appliqué-style pieces. The text is almost entirely handwritten labels with no descriptive prose.
