overall great condition

which would have come with it in a box

Plus a view of the saw factory on reverse

Especially nice that "United States" was fully spelled out

Eleanor Clarice Hayes' Short and Sweet Grade IV Sewing Samples Booklet dancing girls overall great conditionI love an old sewing lessons booklet like penmanship practice notebooks, each is its own thing depending on who made it and when, with lessons taught, materials used, etc varying over time. This is an especially brief one, just four samples completed by our young Eleanor, but I find them especially lovely in a very minimal, and also tenderly humble way, and especially for their handwritten captions, which feel almost like found poetry. Basting.
