Does her Betty Foy have eyelets on the front and back of the fork dropouts <http://38.media.tumblr.com/d34a0a2afbdf5798f997e822945aa2c9/tumblr_ndv9fx7wXs1qe3ngpo3_1280.jpg>? If so, then the 26" version <https://www.benscycle.com/p-2125-nitto-campee-front-rack-26.aspx> would work fine on the front eyelets, and the 700c version <https://www.benscycle.com/p-2096-nitto-campee-front-rack-700c.aspx> would work fine on the rear. I don't know what the difference it the platform height may be.
I have a 26" version of the Campee Classic, mounted with tubus stay clamps and fork clamps <http://www.thetouringstore.com/TUBUS/Fit%20Solutions/FIT%20SOLUTIONS%20PAGE.htm> on my girlfriend's San Marcos. It's a very, very, very nice rack. The panniers carry the weight <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc5YuMsDTRE> nice and low and makes the whole front end quite stable, totally unlike how a high-mounted front load makes the front end flop. Without the panniers, it is a very attractive rack with a vintage french Randonneur style. If you just want that style without the panniers, the VO Constructeur <http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/accessories/racks-decaleurs/vo-constructeur-front-rack.html> is not a bad choice. In fact, I had one on her San Marcos before I equipped it with the Campee Classic. It was used as a support for a front basket <http://houseoftalents.com/shop/bicycle-basket/asungtaba-bike-basket-399/#!prettyPhoto>. She prefers how the bike handles with the weight down low on the panniers. The VO has some cons: 1) it mounts with a fork daruma, though you may be able to bend the tang up to the brake bolt. 2) it works best when mounted to the front eyelet, otherwise the platform is forward of level. 3) it's not as beautiful up close as the Nitto; the welds are visible instead of Nitto's perfect fillets. But it's only $100. Another option is the Soma Champs Elyssees <http://store.somafab.com/sochelfrra.html> rack for $120. It can mount to either the axle or the front eyelet, and it mounts with a tang to the brake bolt instead of a daruma. I have no experience with it but it looks decent. Or, Bruce Gordon or many other US frame builders could custom up exactly what you'd like, for about the price of the Nitto Campee Classic.
