I just picked up this catalogue and was wonder what years members have available for research?
Thanks
There is a 12 volume bound book set that starts with 1865 and ends with catalog 81 but is missing some catalogs. I have a set along with other members here.

I believe that there are 55 catalogs in the 12 Volume set. Cornell Publications has the individual books but if you buy all 55 from them it will cost you more than the Set. Like Bob said there are more reproductions out there that are not in the Set. Not a lot but some. Not all original catalogs were found when the reproductions were made so there’s a lot to look for.

I have nearly 100% of the catalogs that were issued from November 1885 (catalog No. 39) through the 1963 catalog.

I knew there was a wealth of knowledge on this site, but with the addition of all the information included in the old catalogs is inspiring!

Well said, I agree with you completely. T/R
My memory is not working right now but maybe Maverick can straighten me out. There was a spread sheet of all the catalogs prepared many years ago. It has been passed around and any currently known info has been added. There are 7 or 8 years between 1865 and 1881 that no catalog has been found. 1866 to 1872 and 1874. There is possible 2 missing from 1886 to 1899. 1888 and 1899. Maybe these years didn’t have a catalog??? If anyone has more info I’d like to update mine. This spread sheet also shows any known publishers for the original or reproductions. Cornell and Armory, the company that did the 12 Volume set, was not the only companies to do re prints. In fact some reprints are from reprints. The only ones I am missing and really care about are in the 1920’s and 30’s. Cornell has all of these. Originals from the 1800’s can be very expensive.
This is the listing that I have and use, but I cannot state that it is 100%.

Thanks Bert. I copied your list starting at 1921.
I messed up. I missed the fact that there is a 1871. It was on my list. I don’t have any info on the 1899 catalog. There is a 1895 Lee Straight Pull Rifle Manual. Also there is a 1897 Shot Shell catalog.
What pre 64 Winchesters came out after 1918? Maybe I need the catalogs where they were first listed? It isn’t always the year they came out. I only have 1920, 1933 and 1976 Ball Powder Loading data. The infamous pheasant hunt.

That is s very large list. It starts with the Model 52 and culminates with the Model 100.

I figured that was a tall order. So how about the Models 52, 70 and 75.
If you are asking which catalogs first listed those models, I am not 100% sure.
The first Model 52 commercially manufactured rifles were delivered to the warehouse in late 1920. For the Model 70 I suspect that the 1938 catalog was the first to list it, and the 1939 catalog for the Model 75. Jeff and/or Lou will most likely have the definitive answer for those models.

Thanks Bert. That will narrow it down for me.
This one, Winchester-Western 1975 Ball Powder Loading Information, should be 1976. Any of you that have not looked at this one you should. Go on EBay and check it out. I have it but I won’t post the controversial X rated picture. I get in enough trouble as it is.
Edit: Bert when I looked at the Cornell list I have they call it a 1975. Mine has a 1976 Pat on the inside cover. But if you count each side of the covers and a couple pages not marked with page numbers mine has the same amount of pages as the one they list.
