National Aniline & Chemical Co. Nacco Dyes Color Samples on Thread, 90 Colors vintage teak vase with a turned wooden handleMore total gorgeousness this the second of two antique dye color samplers listed today, both I think about as good as it gets. I seem to have an insatiable want for color these days, and these feel like pure sustenance to me. This one, for Nacco Dyes, was produced by the National Aniline & Chemical Co., c. 1910s 20s and features 90 color samples, applied to a mix of silks, wools, and cottons, thus feeling like a textile sampler as well as a color one.
