1945D3115Holland 1945. Cloth-backed paper over boards 10.25 by 13.75 inches; approx. pp. 200 handwritten and illustrated in black and red ink. Contains more than 50 patterns for women's clothing as well as few for little girls -- including dresses blouses skirts coats and underwear. Boards a bit worn and warped but contents are nice and fresh. Very little text -- all of it in Dutch -- but the patterns are universally applicable. Presumably created by a student the patterns are painstakingly neat and exact and accompanied by drawings of the finished apparel as well as wonderfully adept drawings of ladies modeling them offering complete looks from hat to shoe. Also includes cut-outs of patterns many of them still holding pins laid-in here and there. Lovely legible and careful throughout you can see that they were first drawn in pencil then traced over in ink and the student's ruler and blotting paper are laid-in at the back. Unique and accomplished. A gem. <br/><br/> hardcover books

Generally fine condition. <br/><br/>Small men's 70s denim jacket from a female biker gang or motorcycle club. We find no information or reference to the "Metronettes" but as they were driving Honda's most likely Gold Wings they were probably on the more wholesome — rather than outlaw — end of the spectrum. unknown books
