Notes: The 1970-73 pink colorway is very pale and easily mistaken for white. In the comparison photo, pink is on the left. Although brown was never mentioned on the order forms, the common gloss brown colorway was probably made during the 1950s. The hard-to-find gloss gray colorway is probably a later 1970s or 1980s variation.
