Antique 1905 London Needle Co. No. 40 BB Merchants & Farmers Bank Needle Set Advertisement Card
> This specialty needle set card Sample No. 40 B.B. from 1905 was copyrighted by George Barbour, and designed to look like a bank passbook containing a check
> Card front is printed with The Merchants and Farmers National Bank
> Inside, the left side has a set of 14 assorted specialty needles that are held neatly in place by blue fabric
> The specialty needle types are printed, e.g., "Glove or Fur Needle," "Shoe Button Needle," etc., and the set has 14 of the original 15 needles
> Attached on the lower left side of the inside is a small decorative paper lift envelope with a colorful foil cover, containing 25 Martha Washington Elliptic Gold Ey'd Sharps needles
> The inside right hand side is illustrated with a cashed Safe Deposit Bank Check with a dog logo, made out for $75.00, dated Dec. 31st, 1905, and signed by "Getem, Holdem & Co." along with green bills beneath
> Back is illustrated with a gentleman in period attire standing in front of the substantial columns of a bank building, upon which is printed "Have Something Substantial Back of You," along with printed passages in English and in German about opening an account and sleeping more peacefully
> The back has the name of the bank and its officers and directors
> Card is marked at the bottom of page 2 that it was printed by the London Needle Co., Adv. Dept., 112 East 125th St., N.Y.
> Card measures 6.5 x 3.75 inches when folded closed and 5.25 x 7.5 inches when open
CONDITION: Very good, with normal age-related darkening of the paperboard, creases on the protruding edges of the check, but no writing, marks, tears, rips, stains or splits. The specialty needle set is missing one of the 15 original needles. All printing is crisp and clear. The images are still distinct. The specialty needles are in varying condition, some are in mint condition, and others have minor age-related corrosion, as may be expected given their age. The sharps are in excellent condition.
