[78-L] Date required for Victor catalogue

[D P Ingram]

Thanks for both replies ! I am trying to get as close a year as  
possible for the purposes of cataloguing (rather than just list as  
"undated". It is frustrating and I've tried not to guess (myself, that  
is) as I know some places use inconsistent numbering. A couple of  
labels have been helpful as they used a logical form, i.e 192201-01  
which matches up well.

Firstly to this one. 1531 Red Seal 10" Dancing Virgins of Delphi/Veils.

After cataloguing 39 archive boxes of catalogues I also have the  
following "date orphans" if someone could hazard a guess to the  
publishing year?
