DMC is pretty tricky about finding dates. The one for the Dentelles aux Fuseaux I found on the first page, âPart 1: File size 16.6 MB PDFâ at the bottom of the page over on the right. It shows the numbers 1124. This means November 1924.
My little Encyclopedia has its numbers on the page opposite the title page: 755, which means July 1955. And another one, Le Macraméâtitle pageâ612. It may also depend on the dates of publication or style of folder. I have several DMC folders with no dates on them anywhere that I could find. They were all published around 1905 or certainly before WW1. (I know the dates of the owners.) So the trick is to look wherever you can for the three or perhaps four little numbers hiding somewhere in the front or the back of the book. Where that might be, and even the dating or not, may very well depend on when it was published. I also suggest you take a look at the web page http://www.antiquepatternlibrary.org/html/warm/catalog.htm which seems to have a lot of dates on the DMC books. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
