Default Are tackle catalogues from the last 30 years collected?

I ask because I'm clearing the loft and have found bags full of old catalogues, 'old' meaning since 1974.

Default Interesting question David.

No personal knowledge, but I'll bet they'd be a hoot to go through and read. The newest, the best, and from as far back as 30 years ago.

Anything from Richard Wheatley, I would love a 1970's catalogue from them

Actually I may have had a clearout before this one, because there are no Dermot Wilson/Nether Wallop Mill catalogues anywhere. I believe they may be sought after.

Sue Burgess, Tom Saville, Orvis, Sportfish, Hardy, Shimano, Diawa, Abu, McHardys, Sparton, John Norris are all present.

Anything that is old & in good condition is usually worth more than they originally cost.
Catalogues are a case in point. Hardy ,who else command the highest prices along with old ABU. Anything that has lots of info & pictures with mabye some colour plates of flies sell well.
Any AlexMartin? I would be interested in any of these especialy if they showed Parachute flies.
