Great catch AC. That ought to have some good vintage designs in it.

Arizona Cattleman · March 28, 2010, 06:50:22 PM

Thats was I was thinking. adid a search on the Internet, so far haven't found anything on the designer. Anyone know anything about her?

AC, two things; #1. very cool find, congrats. #2. I'm not surprised in the least that WC has a copy

Arizona Cattleman · March 28, 2010, 10:12:47 PM

Is that the one with the Denver belt patterns in it? I have been watching that for about 6 months, hoping the price would drop if it was the buy it now one.
Good buy.
I have another set of her patterns dating back to the earlier 40s. Good stuff.

Edit: It wasnt the same set!

Dalton Masterson · April 03, 2010, 12:48:08 AM

I went ahead and got the one I had been watching. I am glad I did! It is a great set, with more than just the advertised set of patterns in it!
The belt patterns are not great, but are a start should I need to make some 1940s era narrow dress belts......
This set does have a couple of purse carving patterns that would look great on a set of saddlebags (which I said I would never do again, but keep gathering ideas for the next one)
