Ok, the patterns break down as follows:

Pages are about 18 1/2" x 13", 20 pages total.

Each page in the package is numbered.

Pages 1,2,3,5 have 6 patterns for wallets, checkbooks and such.

Page 4 is similar but has 5 patterns.

Page 7 is a purse pattern, page 8 is a zipper purse.

Pages 9 & 10 are cowboy portraits, Hollywood style.

Page 11 has a pair of boot tops.

Page 12 contains 6 holster patterns. (patterns for holsters not how to make a holster)

Page 13 has a card case and picture.

Page 14 has 5 pictures and a belt pattern.

Pages 15 and 16 have rodeo scenes, 4 on p.15 and 3 on p. 16.

Page 17 has a picture of a rider on a bucking bronco and a belt pattern.

Page 18 is a guest book pattern and belt pattern.

Pages 19 and 20 are for a guestbook with an 'archer'. The archer is on p. 19 and the floral background is on p. 20.

PS there is also a small pamphlet 'The Technique of Leather Carving for Students and Hobbyists.

Pardon my mistake. Please correct the following:

Page 7 is a purse pattern, page 8 is a zipper purse.

to read:

Page 6 is a purse pattern, page 7 is a zipper purse.

Page 8 contains 13 flower patterns.

Needless to say, there a lot of patterns.

If Ferg/50 Years Leather doesn't want it, I'll take it.

Help your self. Seventy five dollars is a lot of money for those patterns.

Don't have the money to buy the pattern pack but it looks like a pretty nice collection. In talking to Mike about it earlier today, I had to look Bob Brown up - pretty interesting guy and his client list was packed with all of the Hollywood Western leads of days gone by. I bet he had some stories to tell. http://www.geostan.ca/brown.html

Depends on one's perspective. I've seen a lot of people spend $100+ on a holster I wouldn't give you $30 for. There's some patterns in that package that would be of benefit to me.

I understand where you are coming from, I was talking about patterns not holsters.
