Default Parker Catalogs

Are all the reprinted catalogs marked as reproductions?
I Saw a flying goose and another one not marked As repos.
The staples were not rusted.

Good eye.... not all reproduction catalogs were marked as such.

Buyer beware. On ebay, you see obvious repros, in colors never used by Parker Brothers, sell for real bucks. Add every repro you can find to your paper collection and it will help you to recognize the repros when they are advertised as originals.

The original older ones have string bindings. Some have staples, usually with some rust. Billy

Funny, was just going to start a new thread. I have 2 different 1926 catalogs that I thought were both reprinted, neither are marked as such.

However, on the price list page, on one of them a few of the original list prices have been stamped out and new prices listed to the left. Makes me wonder if this is an original then ?

Some originals have changes, and, as you probably have figured out, such originals with changes can be reproduced.
