Hello, I'm from Missouri. I have been doing scroll saw and fret work since I was about 7 years old. My grandpa taught me in his wood shop on weekends and in the summers. Everything we did came from patterns he acquired as a young boy. They came from Schroeter Bros. Hardware Co, St. Louis, MO. Up until almost a year ago I had the original catalog and every pattern they offered at the time (about 1910). I stumbled across this site while searching for a way to replace the patterns because I lost everything when my home burned. The patterns were everything from simple silhouettes to intricate jewelry boxes, and even a 36" high cathedral clock. I managed to salvage parts of some patterns and a few partial pages from the original catalog. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if someone could direct me to where I could find and purchase all of them again. However, if that is not an option, if anyone would be interested in (or could refer me to) someone who would be able and willing to take on the daunting task of recreating the patterns from photos and the pieces I have salvaged that would be great as well. I do not have a single artistic bone in my body when it comes to drawing. I would be more than willing to pay someone. I just want to be able to pass on what I was taught to my son and grandchildren in the future. I have attached photos of 2 of the completed pieces. Thank you in advance for any help. Vikki
