Baker is believed to have introduced the Far East Theme in 1948/49, Palladian in 1950, Continental in 1954/55. Connoisser is believed to have followed closely after this.

Finn Juhl’s Baker Modern designs date from around 1951-1952, while Robsjohn-Gibbings came on board perhaps as late as 1961. More research is needed.
