I was thinking about bidding on this catalog. No date is listed. I contacted the seller and was informed that there is no date in the catalog. How unusual! Does anyone know when this came out....or able to take an educated guess? cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290088288124

My "Un"educated guess would be late 20s. The girl on the cover has an almost art deco look about her.

One of the selections, "Espanita&Spanish Waltz", was released on 4/27, if that helps.

With Edison's Form numbers the 4 was for disc and the 2 was for cylinder. Some form numbers are easy to read, the last Edison phamplet of records has a form number 4829 which was Disc Aug 1929 and it contains records released in Aug 1929. A cylinder phono catalog from 1901 is form 235, the early ones seem to use which number it was while the later ones seem to have the month and year.
This catalog has record 52209 in it that was released in January 1928 so I know it had to be released in 1928 or 1929 as it uses the late black cameo of Edison. I have always wondered when it was made, but because of the complicated form number I can only guess by the records it contains. If you find the highest catalog number for a record we can have the best guess. I would have bid $40 for it as it is much nicer than mine.
