1930 Parker Pockeet catalog
 

Picked this up this weekend, I was just wondering what it's worth? Thanks.

How can we tell if it is an original or the repro that Barton Press offered back in the late 1960s?

I think it's original all marking I see say 1930.

If that is a 1930 bit of paper, it looks like it is in exceptional condition

Barton's repro was pretty darn good.

At some point they started putting this stamp on them --

But, I see so many of these Jan. 1, 1930 catalogues, that I feel a lot of the Barton repros are out there without the stamp.

Just because it says 1930, does not mean it is. There were a lot of reprductions out there, without seeing it in hand very hard to tell.

Thanks for the input all, either way for the $50 I spent on it I like it. Is there anywhere I can send it to get it authenticated?

One of the best ways to determine originality is to compare the staples with those of a known original.

In 1930 would there have been a form number in the lower left corner? I'm glad the Parker paper bug never bit me:)

Anything on an original would also be on a copy.
