Bad timing. Last year my husband and me killed the last bad-weather
holiday in an energy museum in Mulhouse: center piece was the steaming
engine of the former electric power plant of the DMC factories. I had no
idea.

I'm wondering if any Arachne member knows of any way of dating the
numerous
books and instruction leaflets published by DMC, Coats and other thread
manufacturers from the end of the 19th century? Knowing the dates when
patterns were published - for tatting, crochet, knitting etc as well as
bobbin and needlelace - would be a great help in dating surviving lace.
I have contacted DMC in France. They have responded saying that their
archives
are managed by the City of Mulhouse - which is not a resource I am able
to
access. And I have so far had no success in tracking down information
from
any of the other companies
At the moment I am particularly interested in the date of DMC Les
Dentelles aux Fuseaux (2nd series)
Any help will be greatly appreciated
