No. Package them up and send them to me! They are worth what someone will pay, but are a great source of sometimes lost information. If you are looking to get rid of them, I would be willing to give them a good home! CKruse  :bigsmyl:

I'll give 'em a good home and set up a college fund for 'em.

What years do you have and how much would you take for them.

Now I have a question.  You stated:

"I recieved a bunch of catalogs from kittridge bow hut that were not opened from the late 50s and early 60s"


My question is, Did you receive these "from" the Kitrige Bow Hut, or from someone that had them all thses years?

My guess Steve was born AKBH, and got them from someone else; what other neat stuff did they save? There could be some rare old bowhunter stuff there somewhere.

I still would like to know what years you have on the Bow Hut Catalogs, and how much you would take, or what you would  like to swap for them.

If you sell them, I'd be interested in some of the others, specifically the '59, depending on what you were asking. Thanks, CKruse

You're right Doc...But I want one to see if I can recreate that lustful feeling I used to get reading and drooling over them as  a teeneager.  Back then I would pass up a Playboy for a BowHut or Anderson catalog.

I got the addiction young when I couldn't afford anything.

With all the excitment about the old catalogs here I guess I will hold on to my Bow Hut wooden nickel. Fact is I think I will put it in a safer place to keep it clean.

Possibly worth its weigh in gold in this economy.  :bigsmyl:  

Of course a wooden nickle is pretty light.  :biglaugh:
