All Basses were labeled then at 222 4th Ave, NYC. This was just a few blocks away from Ideal on 5th ave (21-22nd st.).

Lang may not have been the only Shop in Germany that made Basses and were purchased by Juzek one way or another. My first Bass was a Plywood Bass purchased directly from Juzek in 1966 when I just turned 15.
My first DB as well. Did yours look like mine?
