Scans from a 1961 musical instrument catalogue


I recently found this catalogue among a lot of music books at an antiques mall in Freelton, Ontario. It dates from 1961 and features the Harmony, Supro, Stella, Martin, Gretsch and Fender lines of guitar, as well as Hohner harmonicas, Martin brass instruments, several other kinds and brands of instruments, accessories, and sheet music. I thought it might be fun to scan a few pages to share - I've been poring over it for a few days and I know that some of you enjoy this sort of thing as I do. Sorry about the blurring at the spine - I would have to take the staples out to get the pages completely flat on the scanner. Check out the 1960 price list at the bottom of the post!
