I have obscure photocopies of Hetchins catalog ( not complete) which seems to me pre-War. The decals on DT of Brilliant No.1 and No.3 ( No.2 is missing) seem block letters type similar to this 1936 Hetchins. I cannot find on them any script type decals which the unofficial Hetchins web site says to be pre-War.
