Watkins mini catalog/advertisement - VINTAGE
VINTAGE Watkins mini catalog / advertisement
Very nice orange cover with artwork: Watkins A Few Old Favorites
It is mainly black print on ivory/beige paper. Copyright/date is missing, but I'd say it is between 1930's to 1940's. Definitely pre-50's due to the lack of color printing and photographs. The back cover has a space where the Watkins dealer would print their name and this blank. The back cover lists the company address as: The J.R. Watkins Co. (Newark, N.J., Memphis, Tenn., Winoa, Minn. Oakland, Calif.)
24 pages in length with music on the left pages and testimonials on the right pages.
