Hot-iron transfer patterns from the 1928 Gorcy Catalog. Because this was a Canadian company several of the ads are in English and French.
You could also get this image hand painted on ecru or black satin. Yes please!
New and Attractive - The Japanese Design
This is one offering from the August 1928 Gorcy catalog. Gorcy was based in Montreal and many of the ads are in French and English. This one caught my eye because I haven't seen a Sewing Machine Scarf or one for a Phonograph. These were stamped patterns that came on different fabrics (at different prices) . Then you could buy cotton or silk embroidery floss 'make the article'.
In 1925 Emile Gorcy patented his Transfer Ink with mutton fat as the main ingredient.
In 1925 Emile Gorcy patented his Transfer Ink with mutton fat as the main ingredient.
