BAYKO Sets #1 to #6 Instruction Manual
'New Series' - 1939 to 1940?
Earliest Version +
This Instruction Manual was produced by Plimpton for their 'New Series' BAYKO sets in 1939 and lasted for around 2 years. |
There is no printers code to confirm the date for this earliest version, though it was certainly first issued in 1939... |
...the second and subsequent versions are clearly later than this, but the date of 1940 is only a guess. |
I also own another copy of this manual, presumably dated 1940-ish, which has a different BAYKO set price list glued over the original at the top of page 2 - right. The manual was then reprinted - version 2 - with these prices included. |
 |
The manual comprises 34 black and white pages, including photos of models, on glossy white paper and the insides of the cover, with a two colour cover, printed in red and green on thicker white paper / card. |
Size - 220mm x 141mm = 8.7 x 5.6 inches. |
In addition to this manual, larger sets also included a number of Model Cards which provided detailed diagrams of models which were not printed on the manual pages... |
There are several small differences between the earlier and final versions of the 'New Series' manual, but they are mainly slight adjustments to the layout of parts lists... |
...except for the 3 pages highlighted in yellow below... |
...and don't forget the fourth, 'over-sticker' version mentioned above. |
There's a type-setting error on page 18 below ["Green Wnidows"] which was corrected in the final version... |
