Lafayette Catalog no. 75, Gift 1939
- for Christmas 1938

The copyright notice on page 2 below right proofs that it is for Christmas 1938 (not 1939). Therefore the models get the date for season 1938/39 (not 1939).

Here we write the models as given in the catalog, not using generally the hyphen ...

What is done?: Picture at company page. For introducing models we first check if the models have been offered before. Felix Schaffhauser is entering the models for the catalog 73, 1939 for season 1938/39.


After having entered the models for this catalog or enhanced, I will go on with the text here. At the moment it is only an URL for the link in the model.

Later we link this thread to each model from this catalog. We then have a common text for each model of this catalog and can inform about the specific model year et. We then don't have to change on each model if we find something new or an error etc.
