It is always pleasing to find garments marked with a name or initials, it gives old clothes an even greater sense of history, conjuring up stories of the wearer. I found name tags belonging to S. M. Fishman and Tami Chessher on Deptford market a couple of years ago. The Cash's Woven Initial letters came from The Cloth House.
Vintage linen handkerchief with woven initial letters from Labour and Wait.
Handmade work apron with the initial S. M. sewn inside.
I am not sure what O. DE LVs stands for.
Cash's are still in existence today, they have provided name labels for clothing since 1846. Back then the company was a silk ribbon manufacturer. Here is one of their adverts I found in one of my 1940s magazines:
Stitchcraft Magazine Nov. 1940
