NEEDED: Catalogs For ORCA's Bronson Site

Post by wrong99 »

Merry Christmas everyone! Needed badly, for ORCA's Bronson Reel Website, are either copies or originals of the 1955-1958 Bronson catalogs. At this point, it's assumed that they exist, even though the only thing to surface from those four years so far are a few flyers and magazine ads. These have become critical pieces to find, in the effort to create a complete production timeline for all their models. Will gladly pay for copies or original pieces. Please PM or Email me if you can help. Thank you.

Thank you, Wayne, and Merry Christmas to you too. We all need to commend Paul Manuel and Matt Lollman for moving the site to within ORCA's umbrella. It was an incredible months-long technical feat that is still on-going. Both men took the time and to show this dinosaur how to continue editing the site, which is now a Wordpress site. All three of ORCA's reel research sites will eventually be the finest of their kind. Anywhere!

Agreed, the new site structure that puts everything under the orcaonline.org umbrella is a tremendous improvement, and further makes the ORCA online presence the best of any fishing tackle site out there. Kudos to Paul and Matt L. as well as David and Betty and Brian F. and the rest of the officers for supporting the development. The true genius is that our site will continue to grow organically, which means it will lead for the future as well.
