Looking for documentation on a O’Dell tank built in the 1970’s

infodigger · 07/27/2016, 05:27 PM

Hi all, I'm new in the forum and just introduced myself in the dedicated section.

I'm looking for any documentation about a tank that was manufactured by O'Dell company in 1970's. Many of those are for sale online. Here is a link and here's another one.

Does anyone have a vintage catalog in which it was published? Even a distributors catalog would do!!

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Hi again, here are some pictures of the aquarium for which I'm looking documentation on:

If anyone of you have a manufacturer's catalog, any sort of magazines or advertising in which it was published, I would love to purchase it (even a scan would do!). I was told that it's an O'Dell aquarium from the 70's. Any lead?
Thanks in advance

The vintage documentation Docantic has been looking for regarding a 1970's fish tank was found! More info on our article about the mistake at auction: http://www.docantic.com/en/news/108/...to-jean-royere

Again, thanks to the forum and the entire fish-keeping industry! We had a great time investigating on this case and meeting passionate collectors. Who knows, if another auction house decides to misattribute an aquarium to a mid-century designer, now Docantic knows which door to knock on!
