Vintage Tablecloth?- Need help!!!

By Waltyray80, 25 July, 2013
Description

This is the best picture I could get at this time. I have what I believe to be a tablecloth from the 50's. It is about 40"x40". It was made by the Manes Fabrics Co., Inc. I believe it is a polyester/cotton blend. It is black and white. It includes celebrities from the 40's and 50's. (Laurel & Hardy, Honeymooners, King Kong) just to name a few that I recognize. This was my grandma's and I have had it for over 25 years but I know very little about it. Please help!!!

There are visible crease marks from being folded, but other than that it is in great condition!

Re: Vintage Tablecloth?- Need help!!!

Well, I got a little help from a local shop owner. We determined it is simply a cut piece of fabric. Looks to be the end of a roll and it was most likely made in the early 80's with screen print. I thought it was too small to be a tablecloth. 

Does anyone think there might be a value to this item? I still think its neat.
