But yes, I wish I could find more of the vintage catalogs...they are just dang hard to find. I’d like to have some from the 50s like you said and I’d really like to have a couple from the very early 70s as well, say around 71-73 or so. Maybe some of those will eventually pop up.

I have been getting some of the various Xacto booklets and carving guides and such from the early 70s and some of those might have a page or two of some knives, knife sets, blades, etc., and one can see some subtle changes in product from some of that, compared to the 69-70 catalog and certainly the 1978 catalog. I guess every little piece of info helps in some way.

As other related docs come to light I will report what I find. If others do the same, that will certainly help.

And thanks in advance to Scott for posting some of these bigger scanned documents here that are hard to email back and forth.
