Undated - c.1906
This is a relatively small, 80 page, multi-manufacturer catalog, having, alas, only a few view cameras. It is undated, and the date is problematical.
On page 3, it features the Seneca City View Camera - correct name being the Seneca Camera City View Camera, which is not present in the Seneca Jan. 1, 1906 catalog, yet present in Seneca catalogs from 1907 to at least 1925, implying that this catalog is no earlier than 1907.
Yet, on page 5, it features the Gundlach Optical Co. Montauk Compact, a camera that appears in Gundlach Opt. Co. and Gundlach-Manhattan Opt. Co. catalogs from 1900-1903, and is absent from the 1906 catalog and following catalogs.
The seller dated it c.1904 from the presence of real photo postcards having a "Cyko" logo that is completely filled in black in the place for the stamp. However, an online site (devoted to nothing but things printed in real photo postcard stamp squares) said 1905-1906.
Therefore, I am going to go for c.1906 being the most likely date of this catalog.
