Back in the 90s, I saved catalogs and fliers from miniatures companies in a couple big binders. Is there any use/demand for these nowadays, when all the manufacturers have websites with lovely photos of their fugures? Grelber |

Depends. Some rare catalogues of ranges that are worth collecting have their own websites. E.g. dndlead.com or solegends.com or link As far as I know, there is not something similar for historical ranges. If the catalogue is of a manufacturer no longer in existance, it might be valuable to collectors. Whether that translates in real money is doubtful. |

Yes, to identify old figures from companies no longer in business or figures no longer in production by current companies. |

If you have copies of the Old Modellers Mart catalog including the Frontier range, I would enjoy seeing those old pages again. Scan or photograph them and I would be a taker. |

It would only make me weep to see the ranges no longer available, and their prices. |

Yes, there is *that*, Winston…. |

Actually, it's surprising the number of figure manufacturers which _don't_ have images of their products – perhaps you could provide a service! |

Always interested in old old catalogues. I've just put a Greenwood & Ball catalogue from 1975 on my blog that shows the first pics of their Sword And Sorcery range. deartonyblair.blogspot.com |

Are the Wargames Foundry catalogues {one was Victorian one was ancient} still available |

I sent a Modellers Mart catalog along with a few others, to Hal Thinglum a few years back. I'm sure that he still has it. Maybe he'll see this and respond. |

Maybe see if the Stuff of Legends web site wants them? I always wished they had more pictures. |

One of the best sites for pictures is the Lost Minis WIKI. I sometimes think I spend more time uploading to that site than I spend with my children…. link |
