b'1943-1976Remember from 1943 through 1947, all major studios turned their accessory distribution over to NSS. with 20 thCentury Fox being the last studio to sign exclusive contracts. One oddity during this time period is the beginning numbers for 1946 and 1948. For some unknown reason, they started both years in the 400s instead of from the beginning. We have found one exception which was a mistake in 1946 with the lobby card set for Night and Day, having the number 46/19. We mentioned in the procedural changes (#2) about NSS putting the shorts, cartoons, documentaries and specialty films at the end of each with in its own number sequence. It seems that they tried to organize the numbers each year. Here are the following sequences that occurred from 1942 until 1974 when it ended:Year Number Series1942 1000 & 14001943 1400 & 15001944 900 & 13001945 2000 & 30001946 2000 & 40001947 40001948 50001949 60001950 70001951 80001952 90001953 10001954 20001955 30001956 40001957 50001958 60001959 6000 & 70001960 6000 & 70001961-1967 60001968 7000 & 90001969-1972 70001973 90001974 7000'
