Red Dutch Kids NWT Vintage Tablecloth I am digging deep into my buckets this week. I have had this pretty primary Startex tablecloth forever! The pattern is very cute. There are three main issues with this tablecloth. First, there are scattered fine dye spatters here and there, particularly around the center. Second, there is a small broken thread in between the center and the outer border. Finally there is widespread light age staining. Size: 52 X 52 (per label) Fabric Content: Midweight cotton Dye Condition: Good with scattered tiny dye spots. Dense close to the center area Holes/Tears: One broken thread as pictured Stains: Widespread light age staining

Red Farmers Roosters MWT Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth is adorable! The faces remind me of Broderie characters. The manufacturer is Penney's Fashion Manor. I think they are the other manufacturer for the Broderie anthropomorphic veggie tablecloth too. I think it would be wonderful for Thanksgiving! There is one small light smudgy gray mark as pictured. Size: 70 X 52 (per label) Fabric Content: Midweight linen Dye Condition: Good Holes/Tears: None Stains: One small smudge as pictured

Styles Hotels Advertising Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth appears to be either an advertisement or a souvenir for the Styles Hotel chain. The company was owned by Clifford Styles and I read that it is believed that Mr Styles still haunts the Redmont Hotel in Birmingham Alabama. Other hotels are pictured from Florida, South Carolina and Georgia. There is one two inch yellow spot out in the border and an inch long pen mark outside the border. There is a very light yellow stain behind the Hotel Georgian that is very hard to see on the table. Size: 53 X 49 Fabric Content: Midweight cotton Dye Condition: Good Holes/Tears: None Stains: One penmark outside the border and a two inch stain in the border. One large but very light yellow stain under one hotel

Linen Chess Set Vintage Tablecloth This wonderful tablecloth has a bright diamond shaped background with chess pieces in black. It is somewhat faded but very cute and has lots of life left. I have never had this pattern before and really like it. It is slightly more faded than it looks in the pictures. There is one smaller than dime sized yellow spot which did not come out when I soaked the tablecloth. I think its probably permanent. There is a smaller dark spot and one tiny worn spot.

Fine Food Linen Vintage Tablecloth I dont think this tablecloth has been washed but it may have been used. The colors are bright and beautiful with mostly pink, celery green and tan. This is one of my favorite prints and I have it in my personal collection (this one is nicer though). When the tablecloth is folded you can see some minor variation in edge color but that is not obvious on the table. There are a couple of pen marks near a selvedge. They are outside the print so hopefully wont cause a problem. Between the inner and outer border there is a quarter inch cream spot that looks like paint. I included pictures of three other marks that are very light. One gray smudge and a couple of very light marks the same color as the paint.

Rare Leacock Whimsical NWT Vintage Tablecloth This is the only tablecloth I have ever seen in this pattern. The pattern name is Crinoline and it is similar to the Hearts and Flowers pattern with the boy and girl in love. Here there are people out for their daily consitutional. The most unusual thing about this pattern is that it is almost abstract. It almost looks like a color is missing from the design but I dont think there is. This tablecloth is printed on sheeting weight cotton. That may be why it is rare. The pattern is clustered in the center which is really unusual. The downside is that there is fairly extensive storage staining in one quarter of the tablecloth.

Old Virginia State Souvenir Vintage Tablecloth Another in my drive to clear out my stash. This linen tablecloth has old houses and magnolia blossoms on gray linen. The magnolia is weird because the state flower and tree are dogwood. Some poetic licence I guess. The cloth is not perfect. It has a few small rust colored stains. It also has a few light areas of pink dye transfer which are visible on the table. I did not try to remove them. Often when I do something like that, I end up completely ruining the tablecloth.

Pink Colonial MWT Vintage Tablecloth This beautiful tablecloth still has the original label. It has girls with flags and guys on cute horses. The colors are unusual. Predominantly pink, it also has tan, gray, olive and yellow which look much better together than you might expect. The pattern name is Lexington. It is a Prints-ES tablecloth.

Bright Gay 90s Kasha NWT Vintage Tablecloth This is perhaps the favorite Simtex Kasha Cloth tablecloth. It is called Gay 90s and has men and women talking on the phone, playing croquet and out for a drive. The colors are nice and bright and printed on the gray kasha cloth. Simtex designed the kasha cloth fabric to copy actual kasha which is a variegated flannel. The only problem is some light yellow staining to the folds which is visible when the tablecloth is held to the light. I also found one quarter inch tan spot when folding the tablecloth. I love the dog!

Southern Belle at the Well Vintage Tablecloth This looks like a hand printed 1930s tablecloth to me with the simple two color design. There are a couple of places where the printing is imperfect, owing to the nature of hand printing. I soaked this cloth and now it is clean. The only defects I can find is that a couple of the corners are undone about a quarter to a third of an inch. Plus there are a couple of tiny rust colored spots.

Hawaii Pre-Statehood Coat of Arms Vintage Tablecloth? I don't really know much about this. This tablecloth depicts the coat of arms of Hawaii prior to it becoming a state. Even the fabric is unusual. It feels sort of like burlap or unbleached linen on top but the underneath is fluffy and soft. I don't think this cloth has ever been washed and there is some age staining. I wonder if it might be a cloth for a podium? Somebody said a banner, but there's not sleeve for a hanger. Someone else suggested a funeral cloth? There is some age staining but since I don't think this has been washed, I didn't wash it. There is also a light line that looks like dye but its not very obvious.

Pink Transportation Linen Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth is another from my past. I'm digging deep into my stacks this month! I love pink! This pink linen has trains, riverboats, covered wagons and balloons. Very cute! The tablecloth is in good, useable shape. There is some uneven fading to the center and shadows of old yellow stains, neither obvious when the tablecloth is held to the light. I found two little spots as shown in a picture.

Turquoise PA Dutch Colonial MWT Vintage Tablecloth This bright Sun Glo tablecloth retains its original paper labels including a pricetag for $1.99 from G Fox & Co in Hartford, Connecticutt. The pattern name is Penn Dutch. The colors are turquoise, scarlett, mustard and olive with black details. I did see a couple of pindot sized spots that look dark gray. Maybe dye spots, although there is no gray in the pattern. There may be some very, very slight age staining on the label face, I couldn't decide. The label was held onto both sides of the cloth to prevent it being opened in the store I guess. There are two tiny holes on each side that I think are just threads squished over and they'll be fine once the tablecloth is washed.

Colonial Stuff Windows Vintage Tablecloth During the 1950s, people were crazy for tablecloths with things printed on them. Particularly colonial themes. This one is nice and bright with pretty clocks and eagles shown in windows on a brick border. This is a cotton rayon blend and by the bright colors and the feel, it seems to have a higher rayon content. Rayon helps to keep the color bright but it's weaker when wet than cotton is. I would wash this gently and enjoy it's fun and funky pictures.

The tablecloth is in the original box with the original label and napkins. There is some age staining on the tablecloth and napkins. This age staining usually soaks out pretty easily. The box has seen better days but it's still intact for the most part.

Broderie? Stagecoach Folks Vintage Tablecloth I think this one might be a Broderie by the look of the people and the tulips. The color is bright and it looks like it hasn't been washed much. I did soak it quickly but didn't want to fade the colors. There are about six dime sized light rust colored stains that are out in the border and hard to see. There are some areas where the dye is not completely even. This, plus the

The ladies all have long skirts and feathers in their hair! There is a handful of light yellow stains towards the border. They faded when I soaked the cloth, but you can still find them if you look. I also found five tiny light gray marks that could be pencil?

Also a fabric slub on the tablecloth as pictured. This cloth is adorable!

An old handprinted blue and yellow cloth with chefs, waitresses and pots and pans. I soaked it and it's clean. However it has one small worn spot as shown. I don't know who made this cloth, I suppose it could be an older Broderie?

Victorian Vignettes Vintage Tablecloth New Orleans maybe? That's what the iron railings remind me of. Great Victorian costumes. Ladies in hats and children playing tag. Going for buggy rides. The color is still very good on this cloth, which is a wonder since their faces are done in taupe. I found one 2 inch light yellow stain in the border. Mostly only visible when the tablecloth is held to the light. There are two tiny dye skips in the gray center.

PENNSYLVANIA Penn Harris Hotel Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth from the Penn Harris hotel is very unusual. First, it's a tan textured cotton. The printing is read and green and has local Pennsylvania destinations including Independance Hall in Philadelphia and local Harrisburg destinations such as the State Capital. It also gives a nod to the industry in the State with pictures of an early steel mill and a mine and furnace. I make a habit of buying these hotel tablecloths. They're usually a little bit different from the usual State tablecloths. This tablecloth is in good shape with some gentle fading. There are also several light yellow stains that are hard to see on the tan background. I haven't soaked it because I didn't want to fade it.

Vintage Childs Tablecloth in Original Box! When I was little in England, I had a tablecloth like this one that originally had a matching tea set. It's listed as a bridge cloth though. Has adorable red gingham napkins and a wonderful printed scene on one corner. It reminds me of the printing on the PS&S towels. This would make a wonderful Christmas gift! The box is a little stained as shown in the pictures.

Terry PA Dutch NWT Vintage Tablecloth A great idea for anyone who feeds people who spill. This blue PA dutch themed tablecloth has the original paper label. It is stamped seconds. I looked over the tablecloth and the only thing I can see is a few places where the lines of terry are spaced slightly wider apart. I dont think this will affect wear. It may not even be noticeable once the cloth is washed. Wait! I found a fabric flaw and small stain as shown. Some light storage staining visible outside the pattern. The paper label shows that this is a Simtex Stevens cloth with the pattern name Koffee Klatch. It has reverse printed coffee carafes, plates, cups and strawberries for some reason. It smells a little smokey from being stored somewhere before it came here. Size: 70 X 52 (per label) Fabric Content: Midweight cotton terry Dye Condition: Good with one fabric flaw as shown Holes/Tears: None Stains: One little dark yellow stain as pictured.
