Paint colours – Manufacturer’s guide for Veteran & Vintage body paint
Donated by Hugh King, 2023
This pristine hard-bound book measures 22×11.5cm. Thin A4 size, 83 pages with glued cloth binding and a ‘floating’ cardboard reference sheet to assist viewing across open pages.
Publisher is Valentine & Company ‘Established 1832’ in New York, USA. The date can be fixed at 1922. Each right-hand page carries 8 colour chips adhered to the paper, and each left-hand page carries a printed name for the opposite colour chip. All chips are complete and bright.
The book can be regarded as ‘original source material’ by the AMHF Library and copyright is thought to be an unlikely issue. It can be viewed on site at the Library.
(Mr King purchased this guide book in Berrima NSW in 2019, provenance unknown.)
