Sewing Machine Stitchery Samples --- Actual & Facsimile

I am searching for sewing machine stitchery samples, actual or facsimile, and information on them. So far I have found actual stitch samples on miniature (2.5" - almost 5") aprons (which are marked that they were made on the advertised sewing machine), trade cards with actual embroidery on the card done on the advertised sewing machine, and trade cards and advertising flyers with copies/facsimiles of the sewing machine's stitchery. for some examples see Iantiqueonline Sewing Machine Stitchery Samples
If you know anything about these or have any to sell I would be very interested in hearing from you.

Bundles For Britain

More goodies on desplay. Bundles for Britain was an American campaign started when Winston Churchill petitioned the American people to provide warm cloths for the British Military. Eleanore Roosevelt supported it and contributed her own knitting to the cause. Mrs. Natalie Wales Latham of New York organized Bundles for Britain which grew to provide clothing and other articles to British military, wounded, and displaced people.
Pictured here is the cover of the sheet music, "Pick Up Your Knitting." Bundles for Britain continued as a popular charity until the US entered the war when most knitting/sewing was diverted to our own military. See the following pictures of additional Bundles for Britain knitting campaign items:
