So for fun, I dug out my old set of cloth samples from John. I see nothing that resembles a dark brown large diamond pattern. And the one that is called 1940 Philco large diamond, #27, is extremely close in pattern and weave, but overall is a light color. So, he either never had this pattern or copied the faded color. I doubt the latter.
