Found this site that has some cool older Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Catalogs from the Teens. My 1916 Gibson A was $25, and the Canvas case was $1.75 That's $588 in todays money. Enjoy!

Wow that a treasure of information, thanks for posting that link!
I loved the "mandolin furnishings" in the catalog. Cool that you could select the various replacement parts.

That is a good link and the Fender section had some older catalogs as well.
Another good source of downloadable older catalogs from Gibson and other makers are at acousticmusic.org.
