I have a pristine set of Win catalogs from 1961 to 1975. Here is one from 1963.
Dom, as you posted these on another site also, they are nice to see, but in all honesty, not really hard to find, or an item as desirable to many collectors, as the earlier antique printed material for most of us that like the older stuff. With that said, some of these might look good, in a display, for certain collectors who want to display and or highlight a rifle or two. Some of us have most of this stuff, or similar era advertising put away, but you never know if someone is looking for a certain piece or not. You never really stated you’re intentions on selling, or just plainly sharing, which is a nice gesture also.

Anthony is correct – a lot of us have these catalogs. I started collecting them as a small boy when I went to hardware stores with my Dad. Remember, the key here is they were FREE. That meant a lot to me as a small boy (and teenager and beyond) so I routinely picked them up. Remember also, many of us don’t throw things away. I have a large box of these catalogs – dating back to when I started picking them up over 60 years. These catalogs don’t see any use, so they stay in top condition. I don’t store them where they are exposed to moisture.
But, they are cool and I’ve never felt inspired to get rid of mine.

Thanks for posting them, I started down the Winchester journey way later in life and don’t have any of these (yet)…..someone posted a large set for sale not too long ago and I should have snapped them up. I know folks refer to them a lot.
Even the later ones like you have are excellent sources of information. I have some into the late eighties and refer to them, especially for the 9422’s.
As stated in my opening post, a set of Win catalogs from 1961 to 1975 were left to me by an old reloader/shooter. Along with a collection of old reloading ( antique ) tools. To me they
are impressive. My display is small, but I felt others like myself would enjoy seeing them. When this catalog was printed I was 18 & in the military. Would have loved to own a Win model 70., in any cal. But, on my very meager military pay, such was impossible.
