Rare Antique Amana Society Wool Flannel Fast Black Twills Salesman Sample Board drinking bowls I'm not a map expert

I'm not a map expert

is a perfect match for the fat nails and primitive construction of the stool

combined with the three long nails extending from each foot

Rare Antique Amana Society Wool Flannel Fast Black Twills Salesman Sample Board drinking bowls I'm not a map expertA very rare one to find a sampler of wool flannel textile samples from the Amana Society (1867 1932), Amana, Iowa, early 20th c. I believe. Manufacturing textiles for sale was a significant source of income for the religious community, which this sample board, with handwritten notations ("27 Inch Fast Black Twills"; then each sample numbered) embodies.
