Bill, I have the same card in mine that you do also, and yes a cover would be nice had thought about making one, but it does not go anywhere so no need to protect it. I only know of one copy of the 1894? catalouge, I think that date might be wrong, have a Baer copy of it. Regards Gary

Bill, Also Julia of RIA sold one without the cover and the pages were held together with string for 5000 I guess it was complete this was several years ago. I was fortunate to get mine with some other Parker paper.

I was very fortunate to be able to aquire a Parker Salesman's Sample Catalog a few years ago that was originally owned by Clyde Mitchell (former Remington-Parker Salesman and District Manager) who in turn passed it onto his son Jack Mitchell (former Director of Advertising). The catalog has the leather cover and a very interesting letter that was written to all the salesmen when the catalog was distributed. The letter was dated May 29, 1936 from C.B. Wells - Assistant Director of Sales.
