Subject: [h-cost] dating vintage patterns by number and year

Hello the list,
 Many years ago someone  published a book, I think, that listed ranges
of pattern numbers for the Big 3 by year they were issued.  I don't recall
the name of the book since I wasn't doing vintage patterns then.  I can
figure out decade from the covers of the pattern but would like to be more
accurate than general decade.  Something to the effect of Simplicity 1001 to
1075 was published in 1937 or something similar.  Any help with the book
title much appreciated.

I can't help you with the book but it would be very cool to have something
like that.

However, having said that, I know that I have a couple of patterns, let's
say Butterick 1234, dating in two separate decades. There's only so many
4-digit numbers available and they are recycled constantly.

I searched through my vintage pattern collection and looked on the
envelopes in the small print and on the instruction sheets and was able to
find most of the copyright dates for my patterns from the 30s on. It took a
couple of days, so now I search for it once I get a new pattern and put a
piece of archival paper with notes (copyright 1942, missing sleeve cuff
piece #7, manufacturing folds, unused, etc.) into a clear, archival comic
book envelope with the pattern. I've got mine filed by decade and by year
if possible. (I know, fussy.)

 I had a nice pair of Victorian repro button boots with
 scallops. They 
 looked very authentic. I need to replace them. Does anyone
 know where I 
 can get a replacement?  American Duchess won't work for
 me. There are a 
 number of their shoes I would buy if they made smaller than
 a size 6, 
 but I wear 5 or 5 1/2.
 
 Thanks.

 Try asking Lauren (owner American Duchess) if she can make
 you a smaller
 pair. There might be others who'd like smaller sizes.

 I have already asked, she says sizes under 6 just don't sell
 well enough.
