0-Introduction to Allach 1st Year 1936 # 562
The first Allach catalog was produced in 1936. The catalog contained
42 models and a accompanying price list that listed 40 items for sale.
The
first 42 pieces were for the most part commercial pieces, with several
presentations of note. In order to try and date pieces there are certain
criteria. Many pieces went into and out of production before the main
catalog reprint representing the years 1938/39 came out. Somewhere
between the end of 1938 into the year of 1939. Being a bi-annual catalog
it can be difficult to figure out when the cut off date was, and when
was the catalog actually printed. Were there only the 100 piece listed
at the end of 1939?, or were there more?.
Since the first catalog
was for 1936, and the second for 1937 and the corresponding model #s
are had on a one year basis, it is safe to assume that the production
figures for those years are accurate to a degree.An attempt to break
these models down by production year and model post 1939 is a different
question. And a question that has less to do with a catalog and more to
do with the pieces themselves and their attributes.
In an
attempt try and recreate the actual figures, I am going to break the
models down by year of manufacture as opposed to the type of piece.
Plaques, Plakettes and dated presentations or awards are pretty easy as
they are dated. Some pieces were introduced and discontinued so quickly
that I have no reference pictures for some items.
I am going to
leave their corresponding model # and description open for view even
though I don't have a photo, and if someone has one and wants to share
it, I would be more than happy to apply it to its model # with the
catalog year. There are bound to be a couple mistakes when I try and do
it in this fashion. Please keep that in mind and any info will
be greatly appreciated to adjust any discrepancies that may appear.
Thank you,
Kris
