Woolcraft editions were only numbered from 1950 onwards. I have a list of descriptions of the first 13 undated editions if you would like it.

It was great to root through your collection with you, and your commentary made me laugh out loud (making my dog look at me strangely).<br />Off to get tea and hope there's another post like this one soon!Dragonquillcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570703922492149586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2139878279120918103.post-91150464088533028342018-02-18T19:36:47.786+00:002018-02-18T19:36:47.786+00:00Do you know how old that needle is?
