If true they would, by default, have to have been taken in 1948 at the latest and given Ruth's health that year probably a touch earlier. I can not find the Grey Flannel catalog in which they appeared.

Is this it? I did some research and I believe it was from May 2001 auction based off what you mention. If you find the catalog would love to see pics of it since the site no longer has pictures available.
