The first one with the Neos is the New Collections 1998 book, catalog K=SC49, prices good thru December 1998, so it may have been either very early in the year, or maybe in Fall since all of the colors are darker shades, no pastels at all.
I can't find anything with the exact pages as the second one, but both the Carnival and Casino Bags were introduced in very late 1994 or very early Spring 1995.
Thank so much Hyacinth, your reply helps a lot. I used page 2 and 3 of the second one, because it mentioned Holiday gifts, the cover had (according to a caption inside) a Gracie Bag for $232, (pictured again in pg 11). I am enjoying tremendously to look at all these vintage bags, but it won't be good for my wallet...
