Shannon — Early manufacturer catalogs are, as you might expect, quite rare and, unfortunately, the prevailing practice among most collectors is to hoard rather than share them. When I'm able to get my hands on one, I try to put as much of it as possible on-line in the Beer Stein Library, (www.beerstein.net), which is the only place I know of for gaining "easy" access to such materials. With the exception of some old Mettlach catalogs that were reprinted in a 1975 book (occasionally seen on eBay), and an old Rosskopf & Gerz catalog, which is also out of print, I'm not aware of any others that are (or were) generally available in hard copy.
By the way, thanks to Albert Thewalt, I'll be adding some old Thewalt catalogs to the Library later this month. - fjl
