General Notes

Note

Notes: Circa 1935-36, paper stock numbers were changed and in the 38th edition catalog of 1936, the re-numbering was apparently complete. The imprinting on samples has the new numbers and refers to "old number x" on several of them. Status: OK Status By: dw Status Date: 2012-03-26
