Does anyone know when this design of record sleeve was issued by EMG ?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I believe the first mention of "Record Envelopes" was in the 1934 EMG catalogue.
It has to be remembered that EMG mostly made their living from record sales promoted through their monthly letter, "The Art of Record Buying" which was last published in 1980.
I've seen them in various colours but this green version shows up most often.

Great to see! I have never seen one in person - what a great find.
