Old Pamphlets

[James Norton <bj208@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll try to keep this as short as possible, but I'd like some help in 
dating some pamphlets I've recently found in my Grandfathers photo stuff 
(it has not been touched since he died in 1973).  There are 4 articles 
that I'm interested in dating at the moment.  Willem-Jan, you seem to 
have quite the knowledge in this area I hope you and anyone else can give 
info on some of this.  Here we go...

1. The title is "Instructions for using the Kodak Developing and Printing 
   Outfit No.2 (for 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches and smaller negitives)"
   It was published by the Canadian Kodak Co, Limited with no date 
   anywhere in the pamphlet.
   The pamphlet is 16 pages long and gives complete instructions for the 
   development of Kodak films.
   On page two there are references to two Kodak films:
        -Kodak Super-XX Panchromatic and Panatomic-X Film
   On other pages there are references to: Verichrome, Kodak N.C.
   Maybe this will help in the date.
   They also talk about developing glass plates.

2. The second pamphlet is "The Velox Book" also published by Kodak, but 
   is the USA.  It contains about 33 pages with a price list in the back 
   for Kodak products.  Eg. Eastmen Universal Developer Powders; in glass 
                            tubes, each..........  .07
                            Carton of 5 tubes....  .35
   Anyone? Anyone?

3. Is a wall poster called "Enlarging - 6 Basic Steps"  It shows the six 
   basic steps as you most like guessed.  Those being dry setup, wet setup, 
   test prints, printing, developing, and finishing.  The poster was 
   created by Federal Manufacturing & Engineering Corp.
              Manufacturers of Photographic & Electronic Equipment
              199-217 Steuben Street. Brooklyn 5, N.Y.
   This is a great poster, I'd love to get it framed, but I'd like to 
   know a little more about it.  This one also has no date printed on 
   it.  By the way the instructions were put together by someone named Don 
   Herold, that's all it says other than the instructions.

4. This is the last one.  I have a date (1956).  It's called the Kodak 
   Master Photoguide.  It's really neat, lotsa stuff to play with inside.  I 
   would like to get an idea if this is a common little book.  Any info on 
   this is appreciated. 

In advance I'd like to thank anyone who can help me on these.  If no one 
has any info, I'll try photoforum.  I want to run it past everyone here 
first though.  Thanks, everyone have a good night.

                                                Jim
