From garage sales:
Cast, not steel - bummer but still useful and not expensive:

Catalog rack - missing the light bar. I would like to find a real light bar for it, but will probably just bend up something easy and use an under cabinet light. I have lots of older speed catalogs and such, so it's perfect. Except I have no place to put it LOL. Still - $20 and it came with a whole box of the catalog mounts so I just could not walk away.

What does the Record weigh?

I have a similar catalog rack. Not all of them came with lights, so that may not be missing. And yes they are nothing but in the way, despite being a cool thing to have. (especially with paper catalogs becoming more and more extinct...)

Anvil weighs about 20 lbs - decently hefty, but not industrial. The rack had a light at one time because the wires are still in it. I'm having a hard time finding a picture of a light bar on the web. I've been in a lot of parts stores and I can only remember - vaguely - that I saw racks with light bars maybe a couple of times.

I think the No. 15 means 15 pounds (I'll take a look at mine).

Nice stuff, I have a similar anvil (bit larger) and I used to have the catalog/manual rack and got rid of it, wish to hell I kept it, I could fill it with car and motorcycle manuals.

Here's my A55, it weighs 55 lbs. I'd be curious to see if yours weighs the same as the number.

Excellent! Ernie's burgers in the Westwood shopping center (this is late 60s :( ) useed to have the best root beer - Frostie served in mugs kept in the freezer, cold enough for ice to form on the sides.
