With inlaid, typed letter of the company (on pre-printed stationery) to "Monsieur Van Ravenstein" (Turnhout), dated 7 December 1929. The album itself appears much older, but the letter discusses the prices of the samples.

Veuliiez notez les prix ci-dessus ainsi qui'il sont indiqués au dos de chaque dessin."
