25th Anniversary Snap On Catalog, what is it worth?

[Chris Mallett]

I have stumbled across a couple vintage catalogs, two snap on and one Cornwell. I am willing to part with them, but I am not looking to give them away. Is there a good value to these? Thanks in advance. Chris

, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay....

True.

Should I reword the title? Has anyone seen these for sale to see a value?

Chris Mallett- There was a post here a couple months ago(?) similar to yours... guy on ebay had a "vintage" snap on catalog for sale. I think it went for close to 1,000 bucks! Gotta see if I can find the post...

Throw it up and ebay and you'll find out in about 5-10 days!

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.

39-45 era catalogs will get $30-70 on ebay depending on condition, but this is for average condition. Mint unissued copies would bring an unusually high premium if they came to market.

the 20's era catalogs sell for a lot, but the 40's era are common. in fact, the market is not so great, a 1931 catalog just went for only $52, a catalog that usually should go for $150-300.

Thanks Chad, I think with that knowledge I will file them away for a while.
