Original 1930 Parker Catalog?

[Jeff K.]

That catalog cover should be green to be original.

I wouldn't want to guess whether it's original or not, but I know they came out with both green and ivory, and both were reproduced in the '70s.

Is the paper textured or smooth?

The paper stock for the cover is textured. Has a leather feel to it.

I should have been more specific; are the inside pages smooth or textured?

[Jim Kremmel]

Edgar,
The paper is not smooth like a magazine or printer paper. It reminds me of paper in a quality book, or the cotton rag paper my mom would buy for her typewriter when I was a kid.

Give us the dimensions and you will get an appraisal. Full size catalogs of 1926 to 1930 vintage are green.

Bill,
The catalog measures 9-5/16” x 6-1/16”.
