Hetchins Catalog, 1964


This is the first catalog issued by Alf, following Hyman's death.

Len Ingram notes: "The catalog featured below has a printer's error in it. The illustration of the Mountain King Deluxe on page 1 and the Vade Mecum Mk II on page 4 have been transposed. This catalog has a tan cover; correct catalogs have pink covers. What we don't know is, if the incorrect one was the first printing subsequently corrected with a different color cover. As to the date, the VM II and VM III are not mentioned in an article in Cycling dated Feb. 7th 1962 but are in the 1964 Cycling of October 3rd. As far as I can see the first VM II is H4105 marked 'show' on [the production] card and the first VM III is H4107--both sold on 31st August 1964, so I think that confirms the date.
