au...

I'm looking for some information on a catalogue I acquired yesterday in a
bunch of mixed parts from the 50's (?) to possibly the 80's. [Includes CA
bricks, I think]  The main information I'm after is what year the catalogue
was issued for, and what sets it was likely to have come with, or whether it
was a general release catalogue.


<< snip >>

How about you scan this puppy in for us to have a look at?

Well, okay...

[Just a warning, the images are 1-300 K each. I'll try and create smaller
copies of the pictures tomorrow/over the weekend and post them, along with a
1969 range catalogue [8 pages, printed in the UK, no prices/country given...I
may need help with this too :)]


Thanks,
David Drew

Okay...Replying to myself [on-line equivalent of talking to myself, I
believe]...

The scans of the 1969 full range catalogue are up at:
http://members.fortunecity.com/ben_whytcross/catalogues/1969/catalogue.html
[Old warning about image size still applies]

I have no idea if this is Aus [likely] or UK [even more likely] but I know it
was printed in the UK...Any chance anyone can help me out with which country
it's from, and how it could have been aquired then [in box/from shop/?]

Thanks,

Ben - I saw the original link and the scans. Unfortunately the scanning equipment you're using seems to blur that very small text they have. Can you enlarge them or transcribe them into a text format for me? Many thanks if you can!! Cheers ... (...) (24 years ago, 6-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.general)
