Hi Tom,
I went to sleep on the 1938 or you would have had to pay more!! I had bid on it but then got distracted during the final hours of that auction. I was surprised there was not a flurry of activity on it at the end!! Congratulations on getting that piece!!
I still need to get some of the older Canadian ones from 1938 back. I think I have all the US ones from 1935-1957. I have a hole for the war years of 1943 -1946. Keith were there any US Guides made during those years??
My oldest one is the 1925 version with the kids sitting on the fence. I also have a few some hardbound catalogs.
I am missing a few of the Canadian guides from early thru 1968.
I have some extra guides and catalogues if anyone wants to trade for ones I don't have!!! We can discuss those dealings off line!! E-mail me!!
I also know Keith had a nice listing of the guides in one of the old Wild Harvest magazines that I have used as a reference. It has pub numbers and detail info as to when new items were presented for the first time!!
Thanks Keith for doing that years ago!!! I, at least, appreciate it!! With his permission I might post it on it site for others. Or he might have an up-to-date listing that could be posted.
Just let me know.
Thanks
Gary
