$17 in 1923 bought what $238 buys today, so $150 was a good price if it's in decent shape.

I asked a librarian at the Smithsonian to detail their bundled online library catalogue listing / holdings of 17 "volumes" of Parker vises. 13 ended up new finds here for surviving, one of a kind originals held in public libraries. Last week, I added them to my online compilation: http://www.artdesigncafe.com/charles...ses-catalogues

I recall there were also some new bathroom accessories catalogues, link at the bottom of that page.

I'm not sure, but anyone interested in their catalogues might be able to get them via interlibrary loan at a university library, if one has that connection. Also one might be able to request a reference copy of any pre-1923 catalogues for research purposes for a fee. Typically fees at libraries can vary from very reasonable to very expensive.
