1915 Dayton Motorcycles

One of the most beautiful Davis/Huffman/Huffy catalogs ever produced. The red color is very vibrant and it is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau graphic artwork characteristic of the era. The brown color is pretty uniform on all pages, though it is difficult to know how much is the natural color of the paper or damage due to light and/or acidic paper.

While I believe other examples of this specific catalog exist, we are unaware of surviving copies of any other Davis Sewing Machine Dayton Motorcycle catalogs.
