This is an incredibly unique, rare historical textile find! Offered is a 7-piece lot of vintage "stamped-for-embroidery" dinner napkins measuring 18x18 inches.Six (6) of the napkins are untouched, pristine New Old Stock (NOS) blanks. They still retain their original paper price tags pinned to the fabric from the historic "L. Hart & Son Co." department store in San Jose, California, marked at 25¢ each. The factory-stamped floral embroidery guides are clear, crisp, and ready to be stitched.The seventh (7th) napkin is a wonderful piece of craft history—it shows the same floral design partially hand-embroidered with beautiful, vibrant blue, red, and orange threads, showcasing what the final project was intended to look like.The fabric is remarkably clean with no major storage odors or dry rot, and possesses that high-quality, substantial hand-feel unique to mid-century textiles. A perfect addition for vintage craft lovers, heirloom collectors, or regional California history enthusiasts! Sold as-is as a complete historical lot.
*** The napkins feature raw, cut edges with standard light vintage fraying, completely ready for the crafter to hand-hem or finish with a decorative border once stitched
