This charming 24-page vintage booklet, Clark's O.N.T. – J.&P. Coats Book No. 218: Edgings – 100 Old and New Favorites!, was published in 1945 by The Spool Cotton Company (distributors of J. & P. Coats and Clark's O.N.T. threads). It is the Ninth Edition and features over 100 beautiful old and new crochet edging patterns perfect for handkerchiefs, lingerie, towels, sheets, pillowcases, and dainty trims.

Inside are dozens of numbered designs (including kerchief edgings, bath towel edgings, and elaborate sheet/pillowcase trims) with clear instructions, abbreviations, and stunning blue-toned photography showcasing the delicate lacework. A wonderful “Finishing School” section highlights dainty touches for lingerie and children’s clothes. Originally priced at just 10¢, this out-of-print classic celebrates the golden age of American crochet edgings and is highly sought after by vintage pattern collectors and heirloom linen makers.

Note on condition: The cover had previously separated and was repaired with transparent tape that was later professionally removed and replaced with thin, acid-free Filmoplast tape along the spine. The booklet is now complete, clean, stable, and fully readable — ready for safe handling and display.
