Omega catalogue 1926

I have a scan from a copy of the "Season 1926 Olympia Advance List" (by courtesy of Yesterdays/Ruud van Bijnen). This is probably a brochure that was used on the Olympia show at the end of 1925, showing the model line-up for 1926. Also looking at their advertisements, Omega seems to have used this show often to introduce their models for the next year.

This year a very wide range of models, with 4 different engines. The base 4-stroke models had the shortened chassis that was introduced in 1924.
Remarkable is that the Model 5 with the 350cc JAP "Dog Ear" OHV engine, that was introduced in 1924, now had a frame that looks even shorter. According to the description this frame is "specially suited to the engine", probably by the double upper frame tubes.

On the last page the Omega 3-wheelers are mentioned that were newly introduced in 1926. Unfortunately there is no further information about them in this catalogue.

Remarkable is the font used for the brand name above the images. In later years the older font was used again. This copy must be from a catalogue used in the Netherlands, looking at the prices in Dutch guilders that have been added using a typewriter.
