original 1922 Gibson Catalog?

[LongBlackVeil]

This seems really cool, but not 3000 dollars cool. Anyone seen one of these before?

Some really cool articles in there as well, including one about the "thickness of soundingboard"

Wow!

That is rather dear for an original catalog, the last few on eBay have sold for about one-tenth of that price. Reprints were made of that catalog (usually attributed to 1921) by the Country Music Press many years ago. You can sometimes find them on eBay for about $40

Here is a link to the complete 1914 Gibson catalog, most of the heavy prose in the later catalog is contained here.

Whatever that means when it’s at home.
No, not for that kind of money but...there are collectors so, good luck!
