joerookery Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 I'm trying to date a catalog without much success. However, this metal bar is offered for sale. Does someone know when this bar was issued? Clearly the catalog would be after that date. Thanks so much in advance.
Guest Rick Research Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Steinhauer & L?ck were selling 1914 EK2s for RM 2.50 in January 1939 so I have a feeling this was either a RETAILER rather than a wholesaler... or they were just nuts on prices.What other clues are there? Does it have Third Reich awards?The Hindenburg Cross?1920s veterans awards?1918 wound badges?If they had 1870 EKs-- and the bizarre "Brunswick" variety at that-- the name and address of this company would be of GREAT, yeah, jubilant interest to them boys, you bet-- but NOT 1914s, then sometime between 1907 and 1914depending on what ELSE is in there.
Daniel Murphy Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Joe, Glad you could make it to the club. Dan Murphy
joerookery Posted May 16, 2006 Author Posted May 16, 2006 then sometime between 1907 and 1914Goodness! Yes I should have given you more info! A retailer for sure. Nothng in it before WW1. Not a lot of medals or helmets. There probably is a big clue I've missed. A reprint of this andthe Neumann catalogs will be out in a few months.
Daniel Murphy Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) Joe, I do not see anything that would allow for the catalog to be dated any better than Rick's estimate. There may be something else in the catalog that would be of more help in dating it. However if it is being reprinted then I understand you do not want to give all the info away here for free. I have sent you a PM.Dan Murphy Edited May 16, 2006 by Daniel Murphy
joerookery Posted May 16, 2006 Author Posted May 16, 2006 I understand you do not want to give all the info away here for free.Dan We don't care about the $$$. We are retired and do Ok. Breaking even would be nice but....There are over 80 pages in this catalog and Neumann is bigger. Too much to post. If I think I found a clue I would gladly share. We do have a thid catalog brewing -- this one on flags from 1895.
joerookery Posted May 16, 2006 Author Posted May 16, 2006 Found the answer. The missing clue was buried in horse furniture where he sells a model 1912. Thanks for all your kind help!
