I was able to acquire a very nice copy of this catalog from ebay. I've posted some high-resolution scans at the link below so you can read all the details from each page.

That's gotta be the coolest thing I've seen in a while!!! Nice job, I really like that style.Jacob Yergert wrote:This catalog is great! I love seeing these old pages. I spend a lot of time trying to recreate these print effects.
I decided to use one of the steels in the catalog for a design I made last night. I like to reimagine the old ads if they were doing them today with today's pickers.

Emmons amp
The "Emmons" amp pictured is a standard factory stock Standel model with an Emmons logo. ZB did the same thing around that time frame.

Emmons / Standel
All I know of is the back of the four page "blue" brochure, a sixth of the page with a small illustration and list of the various speaker options and prices. Also pictured with the "Joe E Lewis Emmons electric bass" and a PSG in a quarter-page Guitar Player Magazine advert.
