Recently, a new pattern showed up on eBay for sale. The owner had 32 pieces which included dinner plates, a platter, salad plates, coffee cups, and soup bowls. Nancy Patterson contacted the seller on eBay to clarify the pattern name - Ladder Back. When contacted privately Nancy said she only made a few pieces of this pattern and it was used in advertising for the Henredon furniture manufacturer, located in North Carolina. Nancy went on to say that the furniture company used these sets as tabletop displays and magazine photo ads. It was never created for sale, but only as a furniture sales promotion. It is rare, but when the 32 pieces listed for $500, there were no buyers interested. The pieces were relisted for $400.
