Hand-made sample book containing small samples of five different kinds of hand-made lace, each labeled to indicate type of lace and (sometimes) the age of the maker. Pages held together with dark blue twine, threaded through two holes in the fold at the left edge and knotted. The cover is a folded sheet of dark blue construction paper with some words hand lettering in pencil; three labels made of masking tape partially obscure the writing. On the first page is a 6.4 cm long sample of 1.3 cm wide lace, vertically mounted on dark blue tissue paper and tacked down with white thread; two labels made of masking tape identify the name of the pattern, its place of manufacture, and notes about its maker and materials used. On the second page is a 9 cm long sample of 1.8cm wide lace, vertically mounted on dark blue tissue paper and held in place with two steel pins; one label made of masking tape identifies the name of the pattern. On the third page is a 7.5 cm long sample of 2 cm wide lace, vertically mounted on dark blue tissue paper and tacked down with white thread; one label made of masking tape identifies the name of the pattern. On the fourth page is a 9.3 cm long sample of 2.3 cm wide lace, mounted vertically on dark blue tissue paper and tacked down with white thread; one label made of masking tape identifies the name of the pattern and the age of the maker. On the fifth page is a 4.5 cm long sample of 7.1 cm wide lace, mounted horizontally and held in place with two steel pins; one label made of masking tape identifies the name of the pattern and the age of the maker.
