Brochure dating - Archivist - 04-03-2023
I've just been having an exchange with Tony Griffiths regarding the Milk Float brochure. As it is undated, it could be said to be out of order at
https://archive.a7ca.org/collections/show-brochures/
That has just been updated to ensure Brochures are listed in date order. However, as with the Milk Float, there are a small number undated that come at the bottom of the list. What do peope think I should ascribe dates to these Brochures to get them in their rightful position? All other brochures have definite dating details printed. The brochures are:
https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/uploads/BR_1476B.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1937
https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/uploads/BR_1576A.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1938
https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/uploads/BR_1691.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1938
https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/uploads/BR_695.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1929
https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/uploads/BR_784A.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1931
I'd be grateful if anyone can spot any clues that might corroborate my suggested dates

The Milk Float - going on its general appearance and the "tacked-on" line across the other face of the scuttle - I would say is based on a mid-1930 to end-of-1930 AF.

Are not the publication numbers in numerical sequence?

Not always... If you look at the list on the Archive web site, you can see this...

Did you mean "perfect project for an eclectic conversation?"

I think that it would be helpful to ascribe your 'best guess' date to these brochures. It doesn't matter so much if they are not completely correct , but at least they will end up in a more useful order than lumped together at the bottom.
