    Default McPherson's Catalogue Covers by Date.

    I have noticed not all McPherson's Catalogues seem to include a date.

    Since there are a number of forumites with Catalogues I thought it might be possible to produce a reference showing the covers (photo) with either an estimated date of issue or a verified date printed in the actual catalogue.1970s? Production Price $2.00



    1951

    note that your Centenary catalogue - is with the gold "McPherson's" text.

    There are other printings of the centenary catalogue, they have "McPhersons" on the cover printed in red. Mine with the red text is dated 1962.

    I was aware there was a red text version but all the ones I have seen have had the gold. From what I can gather each state printed their own. Maybe Melbourne had Gold and the Red was done in another state…just a theory.

    didn't check for date but I believe this one is generally accepted as the 1937 edition.
