The Polly Ann Knitting Knob
is by Whitman Publishing Co. and

It comes in this attractive little box.

The set is numbered 3935 and comes with a skewer
loop lifter.

The spool knitter measures 3 3/4 inches
or 9 1/2 cms. The finish on the wood is
red "stained" rather than painted.

This knitting spool set is dated 1949, No. 5342 and
made in the USA - Whitman Publishing Co.

samples of what can be made.

Actual instructions.

quality mottle blue solid plastic which is almost
like bakelite but it is much too glossy.
