Excellent Quality Brand Z Cloth
#1

I know there are some folks on here who not only dabble in Philco sets, but also those from the Order of the Big Black Dial. (Zenith.)

I wanted to let you folks know that Kenny Richmond has gone to a lot of trouble to have two styles of Zenith cloth reproduced. Check it out:

"Block" pattern also on eBay:

and Whiskey Rayon Duplication:

He is also working on a few Philco patterns as well. To help make the Philco patterns happen, if you own Zentih sets using either of these listed patterns, help him out and buy some!

Please, no bashing. No, it isn't ultra-cheap. For those who want to complain about the price, you go invest some $$$$ in having some reproduction cloth made here in the USA and get back to me. Better yet, just get out there and support Kenny in this effort! Icon_thumbup
