Was possibly called "Underground RR" - pattern kinda looks like it was intended to be like a "map"??? Not sure if the 'grey' looking fabric was originally green or grey. Anyway got it at a good price & LIKE it -
#2 Is from the mid 1930's I think & is some kind of Tulip pattern.
#3 Is also from the 1930's - it's an applique rose of some kind.
All 3 are in remarkable GOOD shape for their years.
Hope you enjoy - Have a blessed week end.
:lol:
I like the Tulip one can you post a close up pic of that one #2?
Sorry, but I didn't take a close up of it - I will try to get one taken tomorrow when I have better light in the living room
