After the mcm-c bitch post I looked at ebay auctions, catalog #46 was
from 1939. When did they start with #1?

McMaster-Carr Supply Co. Catalog No. 46 copyright 1939
Item number: 130205182229

That catalog would sure be neat to page through, but I ain't paying
$500.00 bucks for it. Must be a real diehard old book collector.

What's the oldest Catalog anyone here has? I think I have a #99 if I
didn't thow it out.

Thank You,
Randy

holy crap! i have a #99. i thought it was onehundredandsomething. i
wouldn't even consider this #99 "old", not at all, but maybe i'm deluding
myself.

b.w.

(when i first got this #99 i remember reading it in bed wishing i had some
magic account with them and could have anything i wanted from it.)

I've got an #88 around here somewhere. Unless I chucked it when I got
the #107.

I just had a #114 land on my bench at work, courtesy of our supply
guy. We don't order from them, but somehow ended up on the mailing list.
It's a pretty handy reference tool. You can get anything, if you know
what to call it when you ask.

Exactly. If my wife worked there everything would be called a thingy.
Can you imagine what that catalog would look like? LOL.
I think that is why I use the online catalog. Searching seems to take
lots less time.

I'll give you a million to one odds that you couldn't get her to sit
down with the catalog, as we would, and look up the part she's trying
to describe. 10M:1 you wouldn't be able to the second time.

Obviously you've never met my lady blacksmith friend, Phlip. She can
drool over a tool catalog quite well.

I have a papyrus version. Everything in it is either stone or bronze.

i'm not old enough to remember that. i just figured this was the "who has
the oldest mcmaster catalog ****ing contest", as per most every other thread
on usenet. this is one of the very few threads that i can compete in.
