Title: Old Paper
Post by: lptools on May 01, 2018, 12:17:43 PM
Hello, I stopped by one of our local Industrial Supply Houses today to look for an older Mayhew Catalog. They asked me if I wanted to look through the old catalog room. I said no, I'm kind of busy right now. Just kidding, of course I took a look. Nothing very old, hundreds of catalogs from the 70's and 80's. I was told that I could only take what there were duplicates of, or a line they no longer carried. They have a list on the wall from A to Z, most were common, some obscure. I will be going back. Pics are a sample of what I found. A good day!!!!!! Regards, Lou

Score and a half!!  You must be one charming guy to talk them out of those.  Or they needed to clean the room up.

Hello, Bill. Thanks, definitely not the former, more likely the latter.  The back story is that I worked there 40 years ago, making cable & chain slings, and custom hydraulic hoses. I have been buying from them ever since. I still get the 10 cent tour, some of their new endeavors are proof testing chain, and testing cable slings.Regards, Lou
