You are correct -- the 1974 catalog shows a Monaco with no writing at the bottom. I had never noticed this, and thought that all the Monacos had some writing at the bottom.

Also -- it is possible that I am showing a "put-together" Monaco. Let me have a look at this one later.

Have a great Monday!
