Anne Adams 4865 through the years

 I got an inquiry recently about Anne Adams 4865--the 1948 version--so here are all of them that I could find.  This really shows you why dating mail order patterns can be difficult: Since Anne Adams all started with "4" between 1936 and 1986 when the nameplate died out, the numbers repeat often and thus the styles don't change a lot between cycles.
