> And yes, that Sears and that Craftsman.

I'm aware of Sears catalog homes but not of any link between the Sears owned Craftsman tool brand and the craftsman style of home, which is connected to the Arts and Crafts design movement. Can you provide a reference?

I think I got my marbles mixed up. Unfortunately it’s well past the time to make a correction.

Happens to us all ;)

I do wonder if the tool name (apparently a brand purchased from a small Chicago toolmaker by Sears in 1927) was inspired in part by the architectural movement, which was the product of a specific designer (Gustav Stickley) in the early 1900s.

I couldn't find any references to such a connection though.
