Folks,
I searched this site and found no mention so in case anyone is interested there is an outfit in my State (Idaho) that sells all kinds of vintage publications including western catalogs on CD ($12.99) or PDF download ($9.99) including White & Davis, Miller Stockman and many others. There are a few thumbnails including vintage Stetson pictures that will make you drool! Prices are perhaps more than one would like to spend (only one catalog per CD or download so spendy) but the darn paper catalogs on ebay tend to go for way much more.... Check out http://www.cabincreekcds.com. You just might see something that hasn't been posted on the Lounge yet... I haven't ordered anything but am tempted for sure!
Hats off to RLK and others for posting their catalogues! :yo: Has anyone ever done research and found libraries that have old catalogues in their archives that could be scanned? I think I'll start inquiring with libraries near me--my local public library has all the old Life and Saturday Evening Posts filled with vintage hat ads---lots of fun to browse those. I imagine Colorado and Texas may have these since many of these old stores/mail order outfits were located in those states. Maybe someone on The Lounge who is in those states knows...
In any case go to that website and checkout the thumbnails. Maybe you'll see something you haven't seen before and will need a drool cover for your keyboard!
