What You Are Getting
An original late-1930s Butterick 8171 accessory pattern: a vestee, dickeys, collars, a jabot, cuffs and a belt — the trims that dressed up a plain frock. The envelope carries Butterick’s “stamp of Paris approval” note.
Size Small. 25c envelope with the Butterick Deltor instruction guide and unprinted tissue.
Condition & Details
- Butterick 8171 (1930s) — misses vestee, dickeys, collars, jabot, cuffs and belt accessories. Small. Unprinted perforated tissue.
Checked from the outside only: the tissue was not unfolded and pieces were not counted. “Appears uncut” means neat factory folds; please treat every other pattern as possibly used. Instruction sheets are included unless noted.
The flaws, all of them:
- Butterick 8171: edge wear, small tears at top edge and corners, creases.
Why You Might Want It
