Victorian Willimantic Thread Trade Card Child Sewing Machine Tennessee c1890

Late-19th-century Victorian trade card advertising Willimantic Six-Cord Spool Cotton, one of the most respected American thread manufacturers of the era.

The front features a beautifully detailed chromolithograph of a young child posed beside an oversized spool of thread, a classic example of sentimental Victorian advertising art.

The reverse advertises W. S. Nunnally, dealer in general merchandise, Vernon, Tennessee, adding desirable Southern regional interest.

Approx. 4¼ x 6½ inches. Condition is very good overall with light edge wear and minor surface spotting consistent with age. No tears or paper loss. Displays beautifully and would frame well.

An excellent example for collectors of Victorian advertising, sewing ephemera, or Southern merchant history.
