These are neat retro patterns! The Butterick pattern is size 16 (bust 36), one Simplicity pattern is also size 16 and the other is size 16 ½ (Half-size Slenderette)! They have been used/cut but carefully handled, folded and stored in original envelope.
Neat “How-to” books! The doily book is dated 1956 from American Thread Company and is Star Doily Book No. 128. The tablecloth book has a 1947 copyright date, First Edition by Clark’s J & P Coats. And, as a bonus, there’s an instruction sheet for “Crocheted Baby Doll Scatter Pins” by F. W. Woolworth Co.
