If all anybody is looking for is the information, then it makes no sense to buy the physical catalog.
"Twertsy's" tool archives web site has a bunch of these old catalogs available to download, including the Plomb 19A catalog.

 Hi Mike, I understand what you are saying, but a few years ago,  I was set up at a old engine and tractor show.

 another fellow set up next to me with only boards full of Bemis & Call wrenches, with his display he had some old
magazine ads and some Bemis & Call catalogs.  between us, we were busy all day answering questions about
 our displays.  he let the people look through the catalogs and they were impressed.

 just saying, there is more than one use for old catalogs.

 p.s. I have a few, and I still look thru them.

I like having catalogs.

For some of us they are part of the collection.

In many cases I just use an upload.

There is an old antique store owner that has a 1905 hardware store catalog.  It's promised to me.  Ill be going by in the next week, he indicated he is ready to sell. Its around 5" thick.
