Found a couple more items. Wish I could hold on to them, but trying to sell off unecessary stuff. You can find them on e-bay. Hope you don't mind me posting information on these here.

Patterson-Cleary Children's Book




I came across Top Hats and Flappers and the name of Russell Patterson rang a bell. After digging around, I found this children's book in my storage container. Do not know how it got there or who it came from. The thing that baffles me is that not much of Mr. Patterson's original art is on the open market and when it does sell, it goes rather cheap. How can this be for such an accomplished artist?
