This Instruction Manual was produced by Plimpton for their basic range of BAYKO sets - sets #0 to #3, and was the bread and butter of BAYKO's heydays, with a total of 20 issues being printed. |
It is print coded January, 1950 and, as such, is one of the earlier versions, which can be easily identified by the red border to the picture on the front cover. Such manuals pre-date the introduction of sets #3X and #4 in 1951 and 1952 respectively. The print code also suggests that Plimpton printed 55,000 copies of this edition. |
As well as being included in sets #0 to #3, this manual was sold for 1/6 [7½p]. |
Unlike part of its predecessor issue, this issue of the sets #0 to #3 BAYKO manual does have the price printed, in the slot provided, on the front cover [below]. There is also another change, the word "INSTRUCTIONS", above the pricing slot, has been changed from yellow to white. |
Pages 1 and 33 [below] 1 include BAYKO spare parts prices, though those quoted still require the 25% purchase tax to be added. |
It has a full colour cover, the rest of the 40 pages are printed in red, green and black on white gloss paper. |
Size - 250mm x 185mm = 9.8 x 7.3 inches. |
This was the 2nd issue. |
