Hi We Sewists!
Back in late November I posted about a mystery Montgomery Ward catalogue that I had luckily come into possession of.
With the help of We Sew Retro contributors Tesia, Timewarpedwoman, Jessamyn, Matilda’s Girl, Cathy, Anne, Ivy, Patrice, Melissa and Tania I’ve been able to successfully date the catalogue as 1919!
Navy blue wool serge with black and red trimmings
The website links the above contributors supplied in the comments were invaluable… (and pretty addictive too!).
I’ve also just now had another confirmation of 1919… one tiny paragraph on the diamond rings page…
1919's newest styles
I know… how did I miss the diamond rings section?! 
I guess I was too busy ogling the asbestos tablecloth and place mats, toy machine guns and the maternity corsets… ouch!
1919's maternity and nursing corsets
Thanks again for all the help!
