Back before the days of Grill Cloth Headquarters, we had to hang out in the fabric shop. I think that I bought this pattern for $2 a yard or less. Of course I only paid $5 for the radio, in a group of 5 incuding a 12 tube Zenith, so $2 was a lot.

I don't think at the time I even knew (or cared) what the original GC look like.
