I bought this pattern from a flea market for the metal box shown in photos. When I returned home with the box and opened it to my delight it was full of clothing patterns from the 1960’s. The pattern smells moldy. It doesn’t have mold on it, but it does smell like mold. I’m letting all the patterns air out so I’m hoping the smell dissipates.
