It is very difficult to accurately date mail order patterns! Advertisements were published in multiple magazines for many years. Few are dated. Readable postmarks on the envelope can help date the pattern. Pattern description states whether envelope is included, and usually mentions postmark.
If patterns have been cut, all pieces are present and in good condition unless otherwise noted. Pattern envelopes may have stamped or written marks from stores or previous owners. Pattern envelopes may not be in pristine condition - this is not always noted in pattern description. Only one copy of a pattern is available unless specifically stated otherwise.
Shipping is calculated by the total of your order. For orders over $5, you will be charged for Priority Mail Shipping. It may be possible and cost less to ship by USPS First Class Parcel ($3-4). If you prefer the less expensive shipping option, please add a note when you check out. I will refund your excess payment.
