Bob Cleek Posted June 14, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 14, 2019 I love it! This one is a "save" for sure. I only wish such places still existed. (Davey and Co., London, and Toplicht, Hamburg, come close, but they're the last of the breed.) If only the prices were the same today. Actually, though, adjusted for inflation, the stuff in this catalog would be as pricey as anything sold today. Boats are a hole in the water into which you pour money, as they say. Thanks for sharing this! bruce d, mtaylor and Keith Black 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted June 14, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 14, 2019 Good find ! Such catalogues are invaluable to see what parts actually looked like in their days. If only the scan was better ...
