I don't know where this guy got them from, but these disks are from Patti.
The seller posted a box of 3.5" disks. Whoever had them was an early mac
developer.
I'd care more about them if I didn't already have another copy read.

Someone on the Apple Lisa Facebook group mentioned posting these Twiggy disks plus a handful of Mac Supplement disks. No idea if they realize the significance.
D.Finni:
So interesting that someone was still using Twiggy FileWare disks even into February 1984. :o
Why? Sony 400K disks had less capacity, but everyone with a Lisa surely had either a ProFile or a Widget. So this must have been someone's backup copy, right? That's why they're all dated: because they're someone's point-in-time backup copy.
Second interesting point: starting bid for this auction was $349 and the auction duration is only 1 day. Surely the seller knows he can realize a much higher final sale price with a 5 or 7 day duration! Why such a short auction which will only serve to limit the sale price???
D.Finni:
Third interesting point: I don't see the MacWorks sources on the Bitsavers archive anymore. :-[

they were a partial set
their presence on line may interfere with an upcoming project
and it turns out the twiggies in the auction are just the headers, not the sources
