Non-Hamer catalogs for sale or trade

[Pieman]

I am cleaning out my attic, and I have decided to part with some product literature that I have been carting around for years. I would take cash or trades, either for pieces or the whole lot. What I would like to do is let these sit out here for awhile and see what kind of interest this draws. I went to a catalog website and saw what these things were going for (or at least the asking price). Made me wish I never gave away my Hamer catalogs and the quarterly news magazines. Every time I Ebay-bid on Hamer catalogs, I get skunked. I don't know the value and don't want to go the Ebay route. But, the '75 Marshall catalog went for $53 on Ebay and it was not the complete '77 package described below. I am open to pedals, etc. or credit from a music shop. I could use some Zebras for my '82 Special.

All of these are still in the original envelopes. The materials have been pulled out of these only a couple of times so they are not ratty or creased or sun-bleached as if they have been sitting on a shelf. I have an old Sony digital camera and I could shoot some photos in a day or two. Here goes, in alphabetical order.

#1 Carvin Equipment Catalog 1981 62 pages

#2 Gibson 1975 - - Looks like catalogs from the entire 1975 line with price list dated November 1, 1975. Les Paul (Keith on the cover); bass (Pete Cetera); thin electric acoustic (BB); flattop (Bill Withers); mandolin (Dash Crofts); solid body (Santana); custom order and electric acoustic (Howard Roberts); banjo (Roy Clark); and, a one-page ad for an acoustic. You can see all of these at Vintaxe.com

#7 Mesa package dated 1-7-91. Color catalog plus individual sheets for amps and rack equipment. November 1989 price list.

#8 Mesa package almost identical to above but comes with a January 1991 price list. Maybe these got switched. Looks like I stepped on the envelope with a wet shoes. Three fliers are stuck together in one corner. Bumper sticker.
