The article is mostly about the myth that these old albums will still produce spectacular toning. "The coin albums in question are those produced for and marketed by the late coin dealer Wayte Raymond under his National brand. It applies, too, to the clones of his albums sold by M. Meghrig & Sons as the American album; these products were essentially identical aside from their brand names and catalog numbers (Meghrig numbers were simply the Raymond numbers preceded by a numeral 1). The National album was marketed by Wayte Raymond starting in the early 1930s and was continued, following his 1956 death, by Alan W. Faxon, while the Meghrig clones first appeared in the early 1950s. Both companies had ceased production of these albums by 1965, driven from the market by better albums introduced 1958-61" This doesn't help us specifically date the OP's album. Since Alan W. Faxon is shown as "distributor", perhaps this means it was following Raymond's death in 1956.[/QUOTE]
