Knitting & Crocheting for Antique Dolls - Vols. II & III

Description

From the estate of the doll-maker and dealer: Two booklets of knitting and crochet patterns for antique dolls. More than 120 patterns for a variety of dolls, including dresses, coats, hats, booties, and toys. These patterns were compiled from private collectors and American or British periodicals popular from 1989-1928, such as
Modern Priscilla
,
Needlecraft
,
Weldons
, and
Women's Home Companion
.
Published by Hobby House Press, Inc. (Grantsville, Maryland), each booklet measures 8.5x11 inches, with 32 pages, paper-bound with saddle-stitching.  In good to excellent condition, showing very minor shelf wear and edge softening. All interior pages are clean, intact and tight to the binding. These are second and third editions, republished in 1996 and 1997.  The only flaw I find -- which may be a big bonus -- is in Volume III where the original owner hand-wrote patterns for stocking edges and lace. (I show her notations in one of the photos.)
