Hendryx catalogs

Ed Clark · Post by **Ed Clark** » Sun May 21, 2006 5:31 pm

I am trying to find out if anyone has any knowledge of where I may be able to get copies of any other Hendryx catalogs other than the 1907 and 1910 copies from the ORCA library. I know Doc Herr had some others and I am working on trying to get some copies from Jeff Herr. Any other assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,

Drop me a note, I know where a gaggle of Hendryx catalogs are.

Cheers,

Dr. Todd

My Gawd, Dr. Todd:
A gaggle belongs with Harvey in the library. We'd all like to see a gaggle of Hendryx catalogs.

Hi Phil!

I don't know if it truly qualifies as a "gaggle," but this collection contains Hendryx catalogs dated 1889, 1891, 1893, 1895, 1898, 1903, 1904, 1907, 1908, and 1926.

I have given Ed the lead on this, and will encourage him to make copies for Harv.

Cheers,

Dr. Todd

No, Todd, I believe that's clearly a Pod, rather than a gaggle...but then of course I'm always lost...confused...addled...ie., At Sea (five letters, two words).

I'm working on it. Of course the 1926 would have to be a Winchester product with the Hendryx name. Give me time Harvey - after I get them you will also.

John, you might be correct about that being a pod, rather than a gaggle, of catalogs. That would be appropriate, seeing as how this is ORCA (but not about the whales?).
I thought it could be a riot of Hendryx catalogs, but a pod sounds about right.
Hey, Doc Larson, you wouldn't have a line on any L.W. Holmes catalog pages would you?

MAN! I can't wait to get my hands on that BUNCH of catalogues!

Catalog update! This particular portion will be on hold for a couple of months. The Connecticut Historical Society where these are located is currently closed to the public. They are undergoing large renovations to the Society. In the interim, I am still looking for any catalogs other than the ones listed.

Thanks,
Ed

I made it to the CT historical society. They did have many of the catalogs that Todd mentioned. Most of the catalogs were for bird cages. They had only 3 catalogs that were for fishing reels. Two of the catalogs are already available in the ORCA library. The third one which is new for me is an 1893 catalog. I had to take digital photos of the catalog. As soon as they are cleaned up enough to make copies I will get them to Don and into the ORCA library for others to share. If anyone else knows of others available please let me know.

Thanks,
Ed

Ed,
Sorry to be so impatient, but was there a listing for a Safety reel in 1893?
I just gotta know...

No there was not. If I find any other catalogs I will let you know when the reel showed up.
