Historical significance, three salesman samples of fine muslin sheeting fabric from the Columbus Textile Mill.  Dating from the late 19th century or early 1900's, the fabric is stamped in blue lettering, COLUMBUS FINE SHEETINGS AA 51. 

There are three samples in the lot with two still tied with the original string.  The third has been opened, at some time or another, for viewing.  Size of the sample is 23" long x 18-1/4" wide,

Condition is very nice.
