Well Used Dutch Boy Color Pack for Painters, c. 1920, with Color Names and Formulas on Reverse

Well Used Dutch Boy Color Pack for Painters, c. 1920, with Color Names and Formulas on Reverse

$40.00

I'm in perpetual search of good color delivery vehicles of one sort or another--old fabric and thread dye cards, ribbon swatches, colored paper samples, and paint swatches, of course--because what is more satisfying than pure color? This Dutch Boy Color Pack for Painters is well worn, but no way could I resist these sherbet-y hues, and especially the combinations of two or four colors together on one swatch. And on the backs of the cards the names of the colors and formulas/instructions for mixing them. Pretty scare, c. 1920 I believe. 

4" x 2 3/16" x 1/2" closed. Well worn, particularly the first several paint samples in the pack, which show a little rippling and craquelure. Less so further on, but general wear and age.
