J & P Coats Mercerized Crochet

A fantastic box of Mercerized Crochet from, we think, the 1940s. The company J.&P. Coats was started in 1830 by James & Peter Clark in Scotland. The firm expanded internationally, especially in US and in 1890 listed on the London Stock Exchange. In 1952, they merged with the Clark Thread Co.
