> Peugeot catalog - brochure
> Seller thinks it is from around 1938 .
> I would guess it is from around 1955 . Artwork looks like 1933 ? Bicycles look like 1950's ?
> Anyone else care to share an opinion ?

The racing bike looks to have a Simplex Champion du Monde derailleur which were first made pre-war. It also appears to have both the oiler and oiler inlet tube on the seat tube which would both place it prewar. I would therefore tend to exclude the 1950's, but would want to see more detail to be absolutely sure.
