<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LeftonGuy, post: 60383, member: 149&quot;]Have more time now. </p><p><br /></p><p>Looks like there are 6 poses. The catalogue is B&amp;W so can not tell what colors they were made in, though obviously in yellow - and red and green (going by what I see on Worthpoint). </p><p><br /></p><p>Note the ones on Worthpoint have no ink stamp. I am surprised your does as Lefton often left off this mark on smaller items that did not have a lot of space on the bottom to place the mark. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can post pics from the catalogue if it interests anyone. They are small B&amp;W pics but maybe helpful or interesting to someone. Another interesting thing about these early B&amp;W catalogues - George Z. Lefton (the founder of Lefton China, God rest his soul) took some of the pics himself for the catalogues. And when they were printed in the catalogues they are mirror images (left turned to right etc). That is the case with the pics for this item it seems. When you print a picture from a negative if you turn the negative upside down in the enlarger when printed (emulsion side up instead of the correct emulsion down) - viola mirror image photos. Another point about this catalogue this appears in. There are wonderful things on that catalogue page I have never seen for sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to the catalogues I spent one winter typing in all the catalogue info I have into an Excel sreadsheet (which has over 190,000 data entries on over 39,000 Lefton items, yeah it took all winter) - which allows me to see at a glance when an item was sold by Lefton and for how long once I have the number. This appears in an early B&amp;W catalogue and appears ONLY in one catalogue which makes me think it was not sold by Lefton for a very long time (only one year it appears). This has implications as to rarity in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>These early catalogues I am not sure and can not be sure if I have them all - but I have never seen an early B&amp;W one I did not have. Point being it may appear in another early catalogue - but from my experience I would be tempted to doubt it (until I see the evidence to change my mind). </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone has a Worthpoint account I would be interested in knowing what they sold for - but not interested enough to join Worthpoint myself. LOL.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have about 4000 Lefton items in my personal collection - but not these. Not an offer to buy or trying to create sympathy - but it relates to rarity in my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>My 2 cents worth[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
