Tandy Black Powder Pouches pattern book

[arthurandersen]

I have been searching since Katrina ate my copy for a copy of the Tandy Leather Company long book called "Black Powder Bags & Pouches" by Steven Dodd Hughes. It was supposidely published in 1985 and had 19 pages. It contained patterns for hunting bags, a flint wallet, ball bag, shot bag, and possible additional patterns for other items. I have contacted Tandy and all they could find was the Gene Nolan book which I already have. If anyone has a copy that they would be interested in selling or copying the patterns and sending those to me I would be agreeable to make it worth their while.

Thanks to all for helping.

Hi Walletman;

Ah there's the rub. That seems to be the only thing I can not obtain. Tandy says it might not even have had a ISBN Number. I found the copyright number granting copyright privaliges to Tandy Leather, but no ISBN Number. I tried abebooks anyway, and had no luck. Thanks for the suggestion tho. Guess I will continue to search EBAY. Someone had one for auction last September. Maybe I can luck into one eventually...

I have a friend who would also be interested in this pattern or a homemade pattern.

you may consider Recreating the 18th Century Hunting pouch by T.C. Albert. It has 7 or 8 patterns taken from original bags as well as full color shots of the original bags themselves. I believe I paid about $25 for it at track of the wolf.

Thanks Mark. All ready got that and thought it was great. However it did not have any of the larger bags like Mr. Hughes book had. His bag pattern was roughly 12 X 10 inches square. I guess I could improvise. Have not yet been able to contact Mr Hughes in Montana.

I was doing a little searching on it last night and was beginning to think it was a mythical book as I couldn't even find anything on it at the Library of Congress. I went thru my old copies of Muzzleloader Magazine and low and behold found an advertisement for it the May/June 1986 issue.

Have you tried asking on any of the Muzzleloader Forums? That might be a better place since it the book was aimed at them.
