The white one has fourteen pages, and the others ten and six with all having info on the back cover which is equivalent to an extra page each.

Binding: soft cover

Wow! What a great cover. But pretty though it is the date tells the story. WWII began in 1939 and would not end until 1945. Given such hard times -- food was rationed, as was gasoline, the country needed metal, gold, rubber and also other commodities for the war effort. America asked its citizens to help with money by buying Victory bonds. The catalog is really cool though -- it measures 5-1.2" tall and 12-1.4" across. Be sure to see the last photo which shows the engine. Catalog is clean and bright with no the features offered in the chassis. There's a tiny bit of edge wear at random spots ...

The lower margin of the front cover shows a small amount of foxing and there is light foxing to the last page, likely because it was up against the reverse side of the cover. Oddly, it didn't happen to the front one. The text here is generous and there are wonderful photographs, especially those which show workers in the factor...
