Flatiron catalog on eBay

Sharing here because the seller misspelled Flatiron.

From what I can see, this is an earlier version as mine has a large Flatiron sticker with updated address on the inside flap as well as 3 more inserts. That said, it's a fair price, IMO as the folder includes a step by step photo layout showing the construction of a pancake mandolin.

Eric, that is cool. I’ve never seen that “pancake” brochure. From the ebay pics it looks like the also have the carved top brochure tucked inside.

That may be the same one (1985) that I have. It is scanned for reading (and drooling) here on my blog:

It should be. That's the same as mine. This is not the oldest catalog. There is at least one that Backporch Productions did. Mine has a price list dated 1980.

EDIT - just scanned and posted the catalog under a different header.

Flaturon sounds kind of unpleasant
