Alan congrats on the threesome. They are indeed the finest examples of the early Playboys I have seen. Just fantastic.
As you have documented the differences are indeed significant between the Bon Vivants. You pics capture the felt textures.
Just grand to see you new vented early Playboy. Thanks for sharing.
Best, Eric -
Thank you Eric... I know you are a Playboy enthusiast too. Of the three, the new brownie is the only one with a sweatband imprint matching the 1935 trademark filing. I just added some photos to the old Air Light thread, which has RLK's marvelous white Playboy. It appears that the manufacturing tag in his hat is the old wider three panel version. Robert, if you're listening, would love to know the LOTXXXX stamp in that one!
