I believe this is from the mid 1950s but I don't have a catalog number to put it away of near value. Anyone out there know? Thanks in advance, Jeff I just saw the red lettering in the background for the first time (could someone please trade eyes with me), but I can't make out what it all says, can anyone capture the red?

Does the red overprint say "July 1981"? If only I could have all my catalogs with me at work. LOL!

Thanks guys, I wish I knew how to get one color out of the way so I could see the other color in a scan? Didn't I read a thread on that somewhere, not doing it but wishing it could be done?

KirkS, I tried everything in the world to get a read on that and did not even come close to that. You made it totally legible. (Did you do that reverse image thing again?) Thanks - Jeff

Would this one be in the Springer Cinderella catalogs as well? It was not in Scott Specialized or my Brookmans catalogs.
