    Default Old Flatiron catalog scan

    Discussion in another thread got me to scan this old catalog. Price list is 1980, and guessing the catalog is from the same time.

    I got a chuckle out of your calling a 1980 catalog "old!" I think I have socks older than that.......

    I remember when the late Fred Thompson was running for senate and someone called his second wife a "trophy wife" -- she, responded by saying something to the effect of "I'm 46, so I'll take that as a compliment!" Gotta love Tennessee.....

    Hey Eric, could you add these to the Mandolin Ad Social Group?

    Thanks for that.

    I hope this isn't out of order or breaching any rules, I made those images into a single pdf file, available for online viewing or download:
