So I bought a batch of paperwork/catalogs a couple weeks ago because it had a 1903 catalog in reasonable shape, as well as some other nice ones. Overall a great price for the package. Even if I do have three copies of #57 now. There was a surprise lurking though.. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/17334jYl.jpg)

Isn't.

The loose cover page is just a reprint of the 1903 cover. Underneath.. HOLY CRAP!!! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/fziUzHml.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/FASxx8Bl.jpg)

Very cool. 👍
Any surprises inside the catalog itself as far as listed offerings go?

Not to me.. but a bunch of us had a xerox copies of the 1897 catalog from the 2010 Fest in Ohio. I believe Fug allowed his to be copied for it.
I don't even know that I've seen one for sale in the last 15 years. Two 1895 catalogs that I remember, an 1899 catalog.. lots and lots of 1900 repro catalogs..

Wonder how many folks out there have an 1897 catalog?
I know of one in Maine, and one in Texas. I think that's all I know of.

The "regular" 1895's were $25 when Marlin was making them.
Dropped to $20 when Savage made the 1899's.

I'm jealous. I don't have one and have not seen one for sale. Some days are just better than others.
