Default Clown Catalog

Ahhhhh, the plot thickens. Apparently, I bought this one from Bill Jaqua at Columbus show for a fortune(sic), so much for 82yr old memories. But, the first one did come from John Hintlin. I will see if I can figure out how to post photos here, as I just shot my remaining catalog. From the binder notation, apparently the one I sold was a 1915 printing, and this one has a glued 1916 price list. Which should be the one Mr. Cote reproduced. I will reach out for photos of the one I sold and keep you posted. Tom

I hate to overpay for gun paper, but I will pay you the $40.00 for your Clown. Mr. Noreen should add your $30.00 purchase price from Bill Jaqua to his list of Clown purchase prices.

There must be three versions of the Clown Catalog because mine has a glued in price list dated November 18, 1916, A-1 Special priced at $500.00. Can we see a picture of the price page in the repro Clown?

Item #47 in TPS lists A-1 Special at $375. Item #50 in TPS lists A-1 Special at $400. Mine lists the A-1 Special at $500 and is not mentioned in TPS. It is not clear how many versions of the Clown there are, but we know of three.
