History for sale this Tuesday: Diamond Dyes Cabinets

Before supermarkets and online shopping, people bought everyday goods from small general stores. Diamond Dyes, made by Wells, Richardson & Company in Burlington, Vermont, was one of the most popular fabric dye brands in America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Shoppers would buy small packets of dye to change the color of clothing and fabric at home; this was an easy way to refresh old clothes or try a new look without buying something new!

To display and store their dye packets, the company gave stores these wooden cabinets with colorful illustrated tin panels on the front. The bright, eye-catching artwork was designed to grab a shopper's attention. Inside, the cabinet held rows of small compartments organized by dye color.

Today, Diamond Dyes cabinets are prized for their beautiful artwork and as a piece of everyday American history.
