55 New Catalogs in Library; Zebco Schematics Up Next!
Some neat new 1880s to 1950s catalogs are in the library. Making a run on a huge collection of Zebco schematics, including complete (all models) 1963, 1977, and 1995 service manuals.

Those Zebco Service Manuals are going to be a great add!
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Bryce,
Actually most of those were found online by new member Virgil Pope. He provided me links and pdfs, and I just converted them to OCR (searchable PDFs) and optimized them. A few catalogs and the Zebco service manuals were scanned from hard copy, but started with digital for the others. The Zebco service manuals were collected in Tulsa by Dick Braun when Zebco was moving out of their offices.
If other ORCA members have or are aware of high-quality pdfs of catalogs not currently in our library, please contact me at David@TheAntiqueAngler.com
Thanks!
