Love the pretty purple colors on this vintage Illinois state map souvenir hankie. Hankie no longer has any labels, but I believe it is a Franshaw handkerchief. The Illinois state flowers, purple violets, frame the map. Many landmarks and cities shown on the map including: Benton, Pontiac, De Kalb, Lincoln, Chicago, Evanston, Kankakee, Bloomington, Bellville, and many more. Very nice vintage condition, no damage I can see.
Souvenir state hankies were a popular item to bring home from vacation in the 1940’s and 1950’s. Franshaw was the most well know maker of state map hankies. Be sure to view our other states!
