Improved Woolco Snap Fasteners, Original Card, Size 000
This item is an original retail card for 'Improved Woolco Snap Fasteners with the Sure-Fit Hole,' displaying a full set of black snap fasteners. The card itself is made of thick paper or thin cardboard, featuring a distinctive graphic design common to early to mid-20th-century haberdashery packaging. The color palette primarily includes vibrant yellow, orange, green, and brown, arranged in a checkerboard or mosaic-like pattern. The central design element is a circular illustration against a brown and orange background, depicting a sewing-related scene, possibly a cartoon character demonstrating the 'sure-fit hole' feature, with the text 'NOTE THAT HOLE' clearly visible. The company name 'WOOLCO' is prominently displayed in large black capital letters, with 'IMPROVED' above it, and 'SNAP FASTENERS WITH THE SURE-FIT HOLE' below. At the bottom of the card, the size 'SIZE 000' is indicated, suggesting a very small fastener size. There are approximately 14-16 dark-colored (likely black or dark brown) metal snap fasteners, still attached to the card, evenly distributed around the central circular graphic. The card shows visible signs of age and wear, including rounded corners, slight discoloration, and some creasing, particularly noticeable at the top left where a thumb holds the item. A faint diagonal crease or string mark is also visible across the lower half of the card. Despite the wear, the graphics remain largely clear and legible, retaining much of their original color vibrancy. This item represents a vintage piece of haberdashery, indicative of common notions sold for sewing and garment repair/creation during its manufacturing period, likely mid-century. The craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced notions of the era, focusing on functional presentation and clear branding.
