Description
The Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, located in Manchester, New Hampshire, manufactured this seamless cotton bag around the late 19th to early 20th century. The bag is a tubular, double weave cotton and is machine-hemmed at the opening. Seamless bags like this one were used in factories to hold and transport items like ore, screws, grain, or sugar. This object is one of a large group transferred to Winterthur from the American Textile History Museum when it closed in 2017.
