Title: I won three more catalogs
Post by: Fins/413 on September 01, 2011, 05:13:57 AM
I just on three more catlaogs: a Williams, Bonney and Proto. I haven't been scanning anything recently because of my scanner messing up. I'll get a new one soon and start again, just wanted to let you folks know I haven't forgotten. The Williams is a 1940, Bonney a 1963 and Proto 1970. or thereabouts.

I didn't know if anyone was interested in 1960s - 1970s catalogs. I'll post links if I see them.

As am I. My interest starts to decline in the 1980s though...

Woo hoo! 3 more catalogues to look forward to! Good work, Eric...

OK guys, I'll start posting ebay links to newer catalogs. I see alot of newer Snap-On stuff, is anyone interested?

I wonder if there is any interest in Power Tool catalogs? In the past week or two I've seen C-Man, B&D, Powrcraft, Thor, and a few other brands.

I'm interested in the SO stuff, but remember that a great many of the earlier catalogues are already available on Frank Murch's site. I've actually been intending to compile those scans into PDFs to make them available that way...

Almost all C-Man Power Tool catalogues up to the 1970s are available in PDF. Personally, I don't need to own the actual catalogue; I just want access to the information.

And, for whatever reason, I tend to have more interest in Hand Tool catalogues than the Power Tools. Not sure why...

I like SO OK but find them overpriced like everything that is labeled SO. I'm also probaly more interested in hand tools really mechanics type tools, and body tools. I do check older supply house catalogs looking if they carry Hinsdale, by in large most carry Williams of the few I own. Thanks for the extra set of eyeballs.

OK guys, thanks for the fast replies. When I find newer catalogs into the 90's I'll post the link. I thought someone here was interested in newer C-Man catalogs, so I posted one from 1995-1996.
