The stuff is getting so expensive we might start seeing repros and they'll be passed off as originals.
YUK.

Auction description says: "This catalog is a small pocket size."

Jeezus! I can't believe someone would want it that badly.

Curious what snap mom & Chad have to say.

It took more than one person to bid it up that high. We don't know how high the winner would have gone.

I was very surprised. I had expected it to go for $500-700 range. At the last minute when it was at only $265, I was a bit concerned, and then a few sniped bids later in the last few seconds, and it was amazing. I paid just under $600 for a comparable condition 1925 catalog last year, and that was more than I was hoping I would have to pay, but I guess I did just fine.

It was a bit much.

Thats NUCKING FUTS !!!

I wonder if the buyer will actually pay for it or if we will see it relisted soon.

I guess I need to take some pics of it huh? That is crazy...

 

[Wanna Ride]

Maybe someone at Snap On bought it for the company collection?

 

[Chris Mallett]

Not only is it the catalog but I also have the price list for it as well. Catalog "Q" issued Jan 15, 1945. The other Snap on is catalog "N" from April 15th 1939. The Cornwell is catalog No.23 from 1946.
