A very detailed and interesting catalogue and price list.

I'm finding it interesting when I run through the catalogues I see various humidors and copious amounts of vitolas but yet no reference to care; i.e., temperature or RH, etc.

[Trevor2118]

what year is it from?

Unfortunately no exact date at this stage.

It is probably issued sometime in the period between 1922 (when H. Upmann Cigars went into bankruptcy and sold their business to J. Frankau & Co), to 1937 (when Frankau sold the H. Upmann factory) or 1944 (when the factory at Carlos III, 159 closed....this is the address on the catalogue).

So 1922 to 1944 (maybe 1937).

Man, wouldn't it be cool to stumble upon a long lost cache of those jars!!!! Maybe tucked away in a cellar somewhere . . . oh well, a man has to have his fantasies!
