It will require someone with deep pockets and a commitment to catalogue collecting to pull that trigger. Perhaps our very own Fins? ;)

Post by: eddie hudson on November 30, 2011, 02:31:44 PM: I don't remember seeing 1952. I think there were 1950, 1960, & 1962 within the past few months. The 1950 had a starting bid of $75.

I just did a search and the ones I saw were 1952, 1959, & 1960. The 1952 is the same one but had a starting bid of $75.

I didn't remember the $75, but I knew it had been listed before as I grabbed the photo of the cover for my files...

I just started copying C-Man covers today. I'll think I'll expand to everything.
BTW what's the year on the C-Man that has the adjustable on the Mechanics tools cover?

1939

Post by: eddie hudson on December 01, 2011, 05:58:48 AM: It has a red cover. Could it be one of the "missing" catalogs? I have a picture of 1939.

Post by: eddie hudson on December 01, 2011, 06:38:14 AM: It's this one. Could it be 1955?
Title: Re: 1952 Kraeuter Catalog
Post by: lbgradwell on December 01, 2011, 11:56:35 AM: Yes, that's 1955, and it is one of the catalogues not yet available in PDF.

(PS/ That's a tongue & groove plier, not an "adjustable"! LOL!)

BTW it's not a tongue & groove plier, it's an Arc - Joint Plier it says so right on the cover. :) (I wish someone would fix the smileys)
It came in the mail today. Give me a couple of weeks and I'll email it to you to post. I only have dialup so it might show up in a couple of files. The catalog is only 28 pages so it shouldn't be to large. What DPI do you want? I can give you up to 600.

Post by: lbgradwell on December 01, 2011, 07:17:30 PM: You now have a hard copy? Excellent! Another one off the list...

150DPI will be fine.

Post by: eddie hudson on December 03, 2011, 05:04:07 PM: No bids @ $50.00 yet.
LG still has a chance!
Title: Re: 1952 Kraeuter Catalog
Post by: lbgradwell on December 03, 2011, 05:43:05 PM: LG is fairly certain the catalogue for which he'd pay $50 does not exist!
Title: Re: 1952 Kraeuter Catalog
Post by: eddie hudson on December 04, 2011, 03:53:41 PM: I scanned the 1955 C-Man catalog today. Now all I have to do is send it to LG.

Post by: eddie hudson on December 07, 2011, 10:02:00 AM: No sale @ $50.00.

Maybe next time it will be $25.00
