1950s Cobbler Apron

My Grandma gave me a few of her aprons last month. Today I am posting the first one. I love the cheerful red with the blue gingham binding. It is a mid 50s cobbler style apron. Cobbler style meaning it has a full front and back. I am not sure how that name came to be, doesn't make to much sense to me. I have also been playing around with how to photograph my aprons better, as you probably noticed!
 I thought at first this was a homemade apron, possibly made from this pattern. It is very much the same....ties at back neck...tuck darts in front for the sash...large roomy pockets on front.
 But once washed and ironed, I noticed a LABEL! Unfortunately it is a bit frayed and not completely decipherable. But very exciting as you don't find many aprons with labels!
 Don't you think it is says Party Perfect? And of all places-Milwaukee!! I guess it never wandered far from home.
