Publisher: Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, Stevens Arms Company : 1940

This crisp and clean catalog was the vehicle to disperse a 30 year collection during the summer of 2003. There were 55 pieces of very old English tableware, many painted in color enamels.

It's called an etui and it contains a gold fruit knife, scissors, an ivory notecard, a snuff spoon/needle and pincers. The date is circa 1755.

Aldens Fall and Winter 1951-52 Catalog

Price: $35.00

Publisher: Chicago, Aldens : 1951

Seller ID: 3358

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good condition

I wish the previous owner hadn't used the front cover as a scratch pad to see how much it would cost to buy two items. I wish even more that he or she had tried to erase it, maybe because the answer is wrong! Anyway this is a very nice catalog. I don't know this company and have never seen one of their catalogs, but I very much like the size which is easily handled at 5-1/2" x 9-1/2". The catalog has a whopping 972 pages of fashions for the whole family, toys, jewelry, engagement rings, household items, furniture, guns, shoes, typewriters and much more. This is a complete immersion into mater...

Atwater Radio Catalog 1927 / Atwater Kent Radio Log (1929)

Price: $28.00

Publisher: Philadelphia, Atwater Kent Manufacturing Company : 1927

Seller ID: 2878

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Good

These two Atwater Kent items came together so, as always, I kept them that way. The catalog isn't perfect, but is tightly bound and clean. Defects include vertical crease on all pages and cover, but I have ironed it flat and put it in the book press. There's a also a tiny corner missing to lower front cover, a part of mailing label on front has been removed, there's a few faint pencil marks on back, and evidence that something was once pasted on top edge of a two page spread (see photo). The radio card log is interesting -- it's completely filled in on both sides and dated 12-25-29.

Bathrooms Kitchens and Heating After "V" Day By Crane Co. (1940's Relevant Ephemnera Laid-in)

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Chicago, Illinois, Crane Company : 1940's

Seller ID: 2706

Binding: Soft cover

Condition: Fine condition

This is more dream book than working catalog because it was printed while WWII raged on. The Crane Company knew there would be no building or remodeling until after Victory Day, but they also knew that people had stockpiled lots of war bonds for later. It was a good move because it sparked both creativity and interest while consumers waited. The booklet is filled with kitchens, baths, and heating and plumbing items. It measures 8-1/4" x 11" and has 21 colorful pages with only a few in black and white. Also laid-in is a booklet of the same size which shows many choices in various categories. E...

Price: $15.95

Publisher: Louisville, Kentucky, Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation : 1942

Seller ID: 1875

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very Good condition

This is a small catalog with lots of eye appeal. It measures just 3-1/4" x 6" with 60 pages, all illustrated in full color. Aside from a small crease to upper back corner it's in excellent condition with no fault of note. All you had to do was buy cigarettes, hang on to the coupons, and trade them in for something in the catalog -- and what an array of items! There are of course smoking accessories, but there's also household items including furniture, games and books, umbrellas, luggage, baby items, fishing gear and clothes for men etc.

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Clinton. Iowa, Curtis Woodwork : 1944

Seller ID: 2788

Binding: Soft Cover

Condition: Fine Condition

I love when a nice ephemera item is hiding extras on the same subject. I bought the main booklet and -- surprise! -- I got two extra small booklets about kitchens and entrances and a letter from the company. Home builders knew that after the war there would be many people, especially veterans, yearning for a home of their own. The building trade started early to feed the pent-up desire, but by the time this advertising came out the end of the war was only a year away -- 1945. The yellow pamphlets measures 3-1/2" x 6-1/4". The large booklet measures 8-1/2" x 11" and has 15 pages covering windo...

Coast to Coast Fashion Awards By the E.F. MacDonald Company

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Dayton, Ohio, E.F. MacDonald Company : 1962

Seller ID: 0036

Binding: soft cover

Condition: Very Good

This oversized catalogue is a monument to 60's clothing for men, women and children. It's clean as a whistle inside and out and measures 12" square. The photography is much more interesting than usual, as in addition to the regular shots of models, there are many large full color plates of vignettes where people are modeling the clothes against colorful backgrounds. Initially I thought this was a retail outlet, but it is not. E.F. MacDonald was an incentive company associated most commonly with Plaid Stamps. This catalog, however, makes no reference to stamps. Each item bears a number, but the...

Seller ID: 3720

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

The cover of this trade catalog presented by Cowell and Hubbard, Cleveland, Ohio's premiere jewelry store from 1861. It looks like the title box is falling off and the cover is wrinkled. But, no! It's flat and smooth -- the design tricked the eye. What also makes this catalog so interesting is the pairing of expensive fine jewelry with couture clothing designed by Bill Blass, Adele Simpson, Ralph Lauren and others. Catalog measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" with 72 pages. There's also an order blank which folds into an envelope -- unused. Unfortunately, there is no date and no clues. I came to the concl...

Seller ID: 4194

Binding: Card cover

Condition: Very good condition

I looked and looked for a date on this catalog with no luck until I realized that it was screaming from the 1970's! In the 70's everything was orange,brown, harvest gold and and poppy, hence the colors on the front cover. Inside there is much brown ink against the white pages. The catalog measures 8-1/2" x 11" and has 36 pages. Everything is measured, described, and priced throughout. P.S. I found a date after all on a note about shipping. It was 1970.
