The staples look too new. I was told that there is a difference in the size of an original staple, and a present day one. I also remember original staples were not plated wire, and became a rust colored brown quickly.

There have been reproductions of the 1930 “flying goose” catalog. I have one of the reproductions.
I’m with Edgar on this.

For what it’s worth the location of the staples threw me off the scent, before I even considered the great comments above.

Looking at my now plethora of original catalogs from a date spectrum of 1876-1930 the staples are always much more towards the outer edge of the binding, and now that it’s mentioned they are thinner looking and rusted.

I’m in camp reproduction.
