Here is a link to my list on the Internet Archive for scans of banjo and musical instrument catalogs. Also, sheet music catalogs and some brochures.
A lot of these I scanned, but some on the list were scanned and uploaded by others.
I have a lot more original catalogs that I will be scanning over the next months and years as I get to them. I've also been scanning historic banjo programs, loads of sheet music, photos, magazines and various banjo related ephemera. It is worthwhile to check out my Archive collection on occasion to see what has gone up.
Lately there have been new things weekly (and even daily).
Also totally free to view or download (donating to the Archive is an option, and I recommend, but totally not necessary). Nothing to buy, just pure fun stuff to look at and enjoy!

Very cool. I love stuff like this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, once again. Great stuff!
Much appreciated Joel, thanks !
Cool, thanks Joel. I noticed in the Cole's catalog, they mention having two bridges. I never noticed it before or tried it.
There's some really cool stuff and some really cool answers to questions. Thanks
Thank you for your efforts and your time, and for sharing this with us.
Sidney Young (the maker of Cammeyer's banjos) catalog just added.

Great stuff, Joel, and a great service you’ve provided. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 1903 Gibson catalog before. Many thanks.

Good to know about your catalogues. Do you have one for Kyle Creed banjos?
