This booklet is from a Lanston Monotype specimen book (binder) bearing the general title "Monotype Type Faces." It is undated, but based on internal evidence elsewhere in the binder it is from the late 1930s or early 1940s."
I apologize, but this paragraph eliminates the design. |
It eliminates it from being a disco-inspired design from the 1970s. It does not mean the design was not in use earlier. Design 6M434N matches the Holsum Bread design. So either your Holsum Bread card is fake or it is possible that a design used in the late 1930s was also used in the 1920s.
