Greetings from Willamette Valley, Oregon
« on: October 11, 2012, 04:53:11 AM »
Hey all. I'm a recovering swap-meet rat. Haven't been to one for 20 years, and now I'm selling off my stuff on online auction (who knew?)
I have an introductory question: where on earth would one find a Walden Worcester catalog? I've checked numerous forums for leads and am coming up dry. Among my acquisitions are many Walden pieces, and I have no way to
catalog some of them. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome :)

Not only have i never seen a WW catalog, I know of only one person who has ever claimed to have one (They are a member here, so perhaps they will volunteer ;p)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Rusty, thank you for responding. Actually I have one goal where a WW catalog is concerned: I want to to scan it and create a PDF. That way I have access to the data AND I could
upload something for the world to enjoy.
I recall there being a 1930s copy on online auction in early
2012, but I missed it (!@?&!#~!!!)
I appreciate any leads that one can provide.

Cheers
