These scans of old manufacturers’ catalogs have been nade from documents in the SCI Library and Archives.
They are valuable for identification and research but direct access to them is quite limited
since they are rare and not generally available for loan. That is the reason the decision has
been made to make them available on-line to our SCI membership.
These scans are of mixed quality. Few are of original catalogs,
while most are scans of copies of copies made years ago when scanners and copiers were of poorer
quality. We will be upgrading and adding as more additions to the library are made.
Each catalog is designed so that you can go directly to an individual page, or scroll through the
catalog from the first page. From each page you can click on the image to go to a high resolution image.
If you have copies of catalogs not listed here, the library would welcome donations of scans.
For more information on the different manufacturers please consult Prosit, Gary Kirsner’s books, Chris Wheeler’s web site Stein Marks or Paul Van Eck's mysteincollection.com to mention only a few other sources.
Thanks especially to David Harr for doing the majority of the original photo work.
