The listing, ~*~*STAR POTHOLDERS~*~*CROCHET PATTERNS WITH RECIPES TOO! CIRCA 1947!~*~* has ended.
PIX COMING! This is in near perfect condition and originally cost TEN CENTS! It was printed in 1947 for the American Thread Co. Inside it there are 23 pages of directions to crochet many different types of whimsical and charming potholders! For instance, a "Bumble Bee", "Butterfly", ""Strawberry", "Pear", " Apple", "Acorn", "Leaf", "Tree", "Panties", "Slip", "Dress", T"horn Rose", "Poppy", "Daisy", "Cookie Jar", "Teapot", "Plate", "Pocketbook", "Scotch Plaid Cap", "Pinwheel", "Square Pinwheel", "Navajo"," Log Cabin", "Indian Circle", "Checked", "Plaid", "Crab", and last but not least "Fish" Potholders! It says STAR BOOK No. 55 on the cover and inside there are also recipes for "Crab Meat Au Gratin", "Honey Date Sticks", "Spiced Fruit Compote", "Maple Sugar Graham Crackers", "Cheese Cake", "Candied Rose Petals", "Minted Tea Cooler", "Small Plum Pudding", "Pinwheel Sandwiches", "Indian Pudding" and "Banana Waffles"! Altogether there are instructions for 28 potholders and 11 recipes. This the nicest brochure that I have listed---it is collectible ephemera and the pix would look great framed too. I have been in restaurants and coffee shops that have had this type of framed ephemera hanging on their walls. Would look great in a sewing or craft shop too! Happy bidding as always everyone!
