Ephemera – “CATALOGS (including both full sized & ‘box’ catalogs)from my collection and research. While most items shown here are ‘original’ pieces from my collection, a limited number are not & have been added for context (in those limited cases, I will try to ensure it is noted as “copy” or give an attribution to my source. Any noted condition rating of a listed item (i.e.: ”VG+”, ”EX-” etc.) is approximate & where reasonably possible will be (but not always) derived from a generally reliable authoritative source or may be  accompanying by a qualifying note ……. I’ve only recently started populating this web site & there’s lots more to be added regularly (please feel free to email me with any questions or comments related to any of my website’s content):

……….. For each listed catalog, I’ve generally tried to upload the front & back covers, together with a sampling of a number of interior pages. If you have a research-based question about a more specific item that may be in the catalog, but is not shown on the pages I’ve uploaded, please email me with some details of what you’re looking for & I’ll do my best to find what you’re after & give you a timely response (please try to be patient & remember that this is just a hobby for me, not a business).

………… Just “left-click” on any image to expand it for better viewing & then “left-click” on the arrows at the right or left side of the expanded image to scroll (in order) down or up (respectively) through the list of images:
