Hello, Can't resist - if my research into this line is any indication, I certainly wouldn't be surprised! "These folks were a "very creative" bunch ;)" she says politely... Hopefully, you will receive a much more scholarly reply form others on this list than my "smartypants" stuff.... we do have some documentation on the Belle Vue Mills line on the website, so take a look: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1dewhurst.html Enjoy - and my offer still stands to post any lines you want to add to the collection...
