UG Brochure

This was for sale on ebay, I didn't get it, but the pics are pretty cool, wanted to preserve them here. If the new owner would like to share high res images of all the pages in the brochure, that would be very nice.

One thing that I saw from the brochure copy, what I have been calling case "correctors" (the little buttons to adjust the date, moonphase, etc) they call "plungers".

pics...

Thanks for sharing

Hope the buyer is a forum member. Alternatively the vendor could be asked to pass a message from us on to the buyer.

Wow! The film compax in there would’ve made it a must buy for me, sad I missed it.

Am I alone in thinking that the letter from Henri Stern about the booklet is more interesting than the booklet itself?

Is this the same booklet we’ve seen modern copies of on eBay?

good point.....this one......it does look the same?

I still think it's pretty cool to have the original

I didn’t even see that! That’s really cool, would love to see the full letter.

"we are selling a reprint of..." gives it away in the description.

sorry for confusion, I was referring to the earlier auction at very top of thread, I think it's cool to get an original copy, rather than a reprint......

If anyone’s looking for the original, I’d bet that Nick at AdPatina.com would be able to find it for you! It definitely would be super cool to have.

Here's another one of these ca. 1950 U.S. catalogs for sale (as a reprint):

https://www.ebay.de/itm/166537674498

Supposedly 12 pages plus cover, 11 x 21 cm. Edit: this is a reprint. I didn't really understand the description, which is in German (even though I am German) - but the title of the auction clearly says it's a reprint.

Anyways, here are the pictures, some of which are already included in the post above:
