Re: Catalogs with Gun Prices
I hate to show my ignorance (although that hasn't stopped other members of
this List), but when did manufacturers and retailers start publishing
catalogs? Was it as early as 1880?
I've seen many advertisements for national manufacturers (Colts Firearms
come immediately to mind) in newspapers of the era, but I don't recall ever
having seen a catalog much before 1900.

Subject: Catalogs with Gun Prices
I am sending this message on behalf of a patron who is researching
the
price of guns and gun parts. He is looking for catalogs (1880 -
1920). We have a 1912 Sears Catalog in our collection which was
helpful
but he is looking for a catalogs dating back to 1880.
Does anyone on the list know of a gun manufacturer who has an
archive?
Thanks,
