1953 Frankoma Catalog

Frankoma used this catalog to introduce the new Lazybones dinnerware line. It would also represent the last stages of Ada clay production. The last page states "prices effective July 1, 1953". I find no 1954 catalog so Frankoma probably used this one thru 1954. The cover photo is a glued on color photograph. Seven standard glazes are pictured: prairie green, desert gold, onyx black, white sand, clay blue, red bud, and sorghum brown.

Frankoma also issued a 1953 Christmas Gift Catalog for delivery after 1 September 1953. If must have been issued very soon after the regular catalog. It lists mostly starter sets and sculpture items and introduces no new items. Again, my copy is a photocopy so the detail is not good. Also, since I have an odd number of pages I believe I am missing one page, probably the back cover.
