1930's Vintage Sizing Chart for Knitting and Crochet

Alison found a sizing chart from the late 1930's. We don't usually see these, so we had to post this one. Garment sizing has changed dramatically in the past 80 years, so having a point of reference for vintage pattern sizes makes life a little easier when working with vintage patterns. 

The drawings for the Simple Crochet Stitches were also pretty cool. These show up in patterns quite often, but normally they've seen some wear and tear. The drawings on this page were great. It is so amazing that the drawings from way back when were as clear and detailed as today's photographs. The drawings often looked like artwork they were so precise and spot on.
