*Rare Find* Vintage 1940 South Bend Dealers Catalog w/Inserts ‘41-42, 8.5” X 11”

Description

Rare Find Vintage South Bend Dealers Catalog, Copyright 1940 W/Inserts Dating 1941 & 1942. Much larger book than the customer catalogs (comparison shown in second picture) measuring 8.5” x 11” with a thicker, coated cover almost like a soft cover yearbook. Cover has some slight wear but, overall, is in excellent vintage condition. Catalog that is shown in the photo giving a size comparison is NOT included on this listing, will be in a separate listing. Catalog is a total of 106 pages. Two inserts included are dated 1941 & 1942 and list updates for those years to this catalog. From my understanding, this was the last full catalog made before the U.S. entered WWII and insert updates were sent out in lieu of a full catalog…..not sure whether they started printing dealer catalogs again in 1943 or later towards the end of the war. On the cover someone had written 1943, I assume it would be the shop/dealer noting that the book and inserts were valid until that year. It is written in pencil and it will be up to the buyer to remove if desired.
Shipping USPS Priority. Great care will be taken in packing it securely but adding extra insurance would be suggested, strictly at the buyers discretion. If you wish to add extra insurance please message after end of auction.
