Laura Wheeler
The pattern I have is in a thin, white mailing envelope from Free Press Prairie Farmer Needlecraft Dept. I believe Laura Wheeler patterns were all mail order from newspapers.

What an address - Wendigo Mines! |
Instruction sheet ID:
There were 2 patterns stuffed in the envelope - a peacock one (#2602, referenced on the mailing label) and one with 2 cats and a vase of flowers (#2721). I didn't know transfers came that large!
Next time - McCall's!
that top one has to definitely be a razor and brush! so cute. my husband shaves with a razor like that.
