Pink Magenta Fruit Vintage Tablecloth This pink and magenta sheeting weight tablecloth is adorable! I have kept it for a while because I like it so much. It had a couple of light yellow stains but I soaked it and they faded but are still visible on the table. Since this cloth is sheeting weight, handle it carefully, especially when wet.

Watercolor Pears on Gray Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth is so pretty! Ethereal colors printed on a heavier weight white cotton. The colors are gentle and sweet, definitely printed that way. A larger size. The only issue I found was some weaving errors on one of the side drops. Will not affect wear. A few small fabric slubs here and there. The hems are slightly uneven at one end, not visible on the table. Size: 71 X 55 Fabric Content: Midweight cotton Dye Condition: Gently faded Holes/Tears: None Stains: None

Victory Garden Vegetables Vintage Tablecloth This vegetable tablecloth may have been one of the ones printed during World War II. The government encouraged people to grow their own food so that more could be sent to the war effort overseas. The colors are wonderful! Bold blue yellow and green. Vegetable tablecloths are much harder to find than fruit tablecloths. There are three small holes in one quadrant as pictured. A fabric flaw runs the width of the cloth as pictured.

Victory Garden Veggies Vintage Tablecloth You all know how I adore WWII and pre-war cloths. Those make up most of my personal collection. This cloth is from the war era and is one of those Victory Garden cloths. They were printed at a time when the government was encouraging Americans to grow their own produce to supplement their war rations. The tablecloth has a pretty cream colored textured background that doesnt show well in pictures. This cloth does have one largish tea looking stain that survived the Oxyclean soak. Fortunately it is light. Visible on the table but not obvious. Size: 49 X 47 Fabric Content: Midweight cotton Dye Condition: Good Holes/Tears: None Stains: A four inch stain that is visible on the table but not obvious

Pink Magenta Fruit NWT Vintage Tablecloth This fruit cloth is extraordinarily pretty! An early handprinted cloth, it bears the hallmarks of those earlier cloths. A slight unevenness to the deep solid colors. Some dye spray here and there on the blank part of the tablecloth. Overdying where one color is placed over another to create depth. Bears the original paper label from Tru Art. Also has an original price tag from Kresges stapled to the tablecloth. The price was $1.39! There is some light age staining throughout the cloth. I would be wary of soaking this in Oxy because of the earlier dyes.

OVAL Fall Fruit Unused Vintage Tablecloth The background is a light yellow, not white and is best shown in the whole tablecloth picture. This tablecloth came in the original plastic bag with the paper label. It has a bit of a smell from being in the bag for so long. It is supposed to be 67 inches round but it isnt that big, nor is it really round because the measurement in one direction is four inches shorter than the perpendicular. It is a later tablecloth than most vintage cloths. The printing is a little more rustic, the fabric not as thick. Round vintage tablecloths can be hard to come by because round tables became popular towards the end of the vintage tablecloth era, sometime during the 60s. Size: 59 X 55 not including the fringe Fabric Content: Midweight cotton Dye Condition: Good Holes/Tears: None Stains: Three light smudgy marks near the center. One line from the center out towards the hem as shown. It is thin and light and not too obvious

Avocado Green Fruit MWT Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth is unlike anything I have ever seen! I suspect a 60s date. It is a SunGlo cloth and has the paper label with the pattern name Sun Berry. I am not really sure why. LOL! I guess it does really have strawberries in there with the apples and pears. It has a matching overlocked edging. The color is deeper than it looks in the close-ups and is best seen in the whole tablecloth picture.

Magenta Pink Fruit Floral MWT Vintage Tablecloth OK, is it a fruit or is it a floral? The name on the Marlene Linens paper label is Chrysanthemum but I have always thought or it as a fruit tablecloth. It is a nice big size with pretty colors. Sheeting weight so wash it carefully. There is a light dye swipe just inside the fruit border as pictured. Another series of light dye spots on the drop by the label. There is one light storage type spot on the drop. Size: 78 X 58 (per label) Fabric Content: Sheeting cotton Dye Condition: Good with one light dye swipe at the inside corner of the border. A line of light dye transfer on the drop by the label.

Rayon Orange Fruit NWT Napkins Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth usually comes with pink fruit. I have never had it before with yellow and orange. It is really pretty! Very drapey with the high rayon content, I would not use Oxy on this tablecloth. It has the original paper label from Kempray Hand Prints and six matching napkins. There is some light storage staining to the tablecloth with about 20-30 tiny little dark spots. Two of the napkins have deeper staining that might be yellow dye?

Red Black Gray Grapes Vintage Tablecloth I am not sure what to say about this graphically interesting pattern. It has grapes or maybe some other kind of fruit, leaves and scrolls (I think). It is nice and bold. The pattern is gently faded. There is one small hole in the corner. There is a rust colored stain near a selvedge. I would patch the hole and use it the way it is.

I did soak the cloth a couple of times and they are lighter than they were. Size: 61 X 52 Fabric Content: Midweight cotton Dye Condition: Good Holes/Tears: None Stains: A handful of stains in the center area, two are noticeable but not too bad

Unwashed? Pink Fruit Vintage Tablecloth I dont think this tablecloth has been washed. It feels like a cotton/rayon blend to me, like one of the Japanese imports from after the war. The black outlines suggest a 50s vintage. There is some light storage staining along the selvedges that I did not try to remove. A visible fabric fault runs through the center field about a third of the way in. It is visible but not distracting.

Pretty colors of pink, magenta and what I think is a jadite green on an off white cotton. There is one half inch hole in an outside fruit basket as shown.

Pastel Fruit Linen Vintage Tablecloth The colors on this fruit tablecloth are very soft and pretty. Orange, pink, turquoise and olive on a slightly off white linen. I think the colors were meant to be like this because they dont seem faded. Another from the first lot from a new seller. These tablecloths have been cleaned but not stain treated. They have a smell of bleach. I am not a complete anti-chlorine bleach purist although I choose to only use it myself in dire emergency, like for dye runs.

Primary Block Printed Fruit Vintage Tablecloth Amazing fruit that looks hand or block printed. The colors are bold and I suspect it has been barely used! I am not sure what fabric it is. Maybe linen but it's still stiff, not floppy like linen. It might be a cotton/linen blend? I soaked out some minor staining. There are some tiny dye spatters here and there which are common on this type of tablecloth. There is also a fabric slub on one selvedge as pictured.

Burgundy Handprinted Fruit Vintage Tablecloth This tablecloth is unusual! It is hand printed with glorious colors. I have this pattern in red too. I soaked the cloth and got out some light staining. The burgundy is now slightly faded unevenly. There are dozens of tiny pindot paint spots that are really hard to see. There is a slight consistent pink tint to the fabric. Finally, the unusual thing is that the hems are sewn the wrong way. Folded towards the good side instead of the bad. It is not really noticeable.

Funky Kitchen Napkins Vintage Tablecloth This is one of those array tablecloths that might be a Wilendur or it might not. I found the tablecloth first, then found the matching napkins. They could all use a wash and iron. There is one nickel sized light red patch of dye transfer. It is in between two blocks and close to the edge. In the next door block I found a yellow stain about the same size which is not obvious.

Pure Rayon Fruit MWT Vintage Tablecloth I dont usually buy rayon cloths but this one was pretty. The good side of rayon is the way it takes and holds dye. The down side is that it is easier to damage than cotton or linen. Id wash it gently and avoid the use of Oxy bleaches. There are some light marks in the center field.

A wonderful tablecloth with red and blue fruit in big blue fruit baskets. I would guess early 40s because of the grinning. Be careful with this one in Oxy because these early 40s tablecloths are not all stable in these new products. There are a couple of dye spots out in one corner. This has a few stray cat hairs from the previous owner so beware!
