Rare Antique Amana Society Wool Flannel Fast Black Twills Salesman Sample Board white marble fired pots for everyone inA 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.
