McCall Pattern Company McCall Pattern Company started in 1870 in New York City. James McCall, an immigrant from Scotland was a Tailor with a small shop who kept up with European fashion trends and worked as a U S Agent for the English pattern company The Royal Chart. He began to design his own patterns and published a four page magazine, "The Queen" to promote and advertise his patterns. When James McCall died in 1884, his company continued to flourish. The magazines name changed to "The Queen of Fashion" and reached a circulation of more than 75,000. McCall's started printing directly onto their patterns in 1919 and in the 1920's introduced full color printing on their envelopes illustrations. It has been stated that ALL McCall's have a copyright date, but I have found a few undated ones. But it is safe to say that nearly ALL McCall patterns are dated and they are the only company to consistently do so.
