If you're talking about the girl pictured in this thread, she's a model. I do remember one catalog or flyer where Margaret Jackson (Bill Thomas' secretary, later his wife) posed for the pictures. Margaret was gorgeous, and I was pretty close to that side of the family, having a crush on Margaret at the time.

the great graphic designs of alvin lustig were utilized by jbl in 1950 through 1955 for product literature graphics. as a skilled designer he began submitting transducer and enclosure designs. he is credited for the s36 viscount, s38 baron, c34, c35 fairfield, c37 and c40 harkness. lustig died in 1955 but his designs continued to sell post humus. these enclusures were available with wood or spun aluminum legs. the spun aluminum legs are a george nelson office for herman miller thin edge design.
having nothing to do with the charles eames office. george nelson employed many design superstars under his design guidance. maybe alvin lustig had an association with the george nelson office. early enclsure finishes were available in oiled walnut and tawny walnut, popular finishes for george nelson herman miller furniture. i'm not sure since i have yet to find documentation, but i think alvin lustig was involved with thin edge furniture design for the george nelson office which he also used for jbl.
