Notes:
|
Model numbers from 1957 'New Models' folder and October 1956 price list in GA12. Vogue Studio/Anthony Denney photographer's stamp is on the reverse of the print. According to an advert in 'The Cabinet Maker' 15 December 1956, the Chinese white range was launched in September 1956 but the B918 chest doesn't appear in 1956 price lists and first appears in the G-Plan 'New Models' folder for 1957.
