Author Description

I want to thank Clive Lamming for allowing me to reproduce these earliest JdP and JEP catalogues coming from the complete collection (1902-1968) of original catalogues that the Société Industrielle de Ferblanterie (SIF) had in its head offices at 39, Bd Beaumarchais, 75003 Paris. The SIF gave the collection to Clive under the condition to publish them the best possible way and as widespread as possible and in this way keeping the memory of the company alive. Clive will be pleased to pass his treasury on to the next generation of toy collectors and to accomplish the condition the SIF wanted him to fulfil.
