Antique Woman's Knit "Fitnek" Scarf Circa 1900s

Antiques : Womans Scarf

 

This wonderful item is a "FITNEK" scarf made by Way's Muffler Co of Philadelphia. The patented dates are Jun 9, 1908 to July 5, 1918. Please see picture of tag. The original box has the size 13 and white stamped on it. The collar from snap down is 12" long and 1 side is 5" wide. From the snap up to the end of the collar is 4 1/2". This looks as if it's never been used. I'm sure it was a birthday or Christmas gift that someone received and just stuck away in a drawer. The pattern is very simple allowing it to go with just about anything. The snap is a bluish color. The box is original to the scarf and shows a woman on the front wearing the scarf.

Condition: Very good! The only thing I will point out is the slight bleeding from the snap. Just due to old age. The inside box has two sides split and the top of the box is worn. Please see pictures. I does not take away from the item. It's not overly worn.

I have actually had this in my own collection for years. I'm just passing along items I no longer feel I will use. As with all of my items this comes from a smoke free home. Did you know that if you live in the US and purchase a second item priority shipping is free?
