Finally riding a big boys bike
A couple of auctions tomorrow...no bikes unfortunately. On occasions, I find old catalogs and immediately go to the bicycle section. I understand these probably aren't worth much but I want to know what others might be willing to pay for an old catalog in order to get the bicycle pictures from it. I found this 1928 Wards catalog with a Hawthorne Flyer on the back of the inside cover. The colors on the ad are amazing and I found myself wanting to go to this auction even though there's nothing else there. Tough decision because I hate burning a whole day to pick up something like this when I could be at home actually working on some of my bike projects. Thoughts and opinions....

Old catalogs can be worth a lot but that is not the thing.
They are snapshots of history- specialized or generalized- there is plenty to learn
 
Life is short, do what makes you happy when you have the chance and it’s legal and ethical.
