While going through some stuff at Dad's house I found an old catalog that Russ put out but can't find any dates on it.

In the catalog he is selling one ounce bottles of lure for $1.25 postpaid.

The front cover has a black and white picture of a building with fur propped up against it on stretchers and other fur hanging from the walls. The ground and roof are snow covered. The caption under the picture says, "An early season catch of mixed furs taken on the Carman trapline."

Anyone have any idea when this was printed and its value. I'm guessing it is at least 50 years old. The catalog is in really good shape for its age.

Thanks for any help.

Now if we could just get today's lure makers to sell one ounce bottles for $1.25 postpaid!!!! LOL LOL

Hey Randy, got a picture of it? Your 50 year old guess is probably about right. That would make it mid to late 1970's. Price is comparable with some mid 1970's catalogs of other lure dealers I have seen.
