Thanks for posting it Rolf. I have a nearly identical example with the same Shaldach illustrations, text and format. It is, however, undated and has to be earlier since, by way of example, the first Brown Tone was priced at $55.00 as opposed to the 1955 $93.00.

Here is a somewhat tattered earlier version. No spinning rods and lower prices.
