While going through a few things at what used to be Dad and Grand-dad's old Farmall garage/dealership, I found an IH product line catalog...a loose-leaf binder. It was broken down into sections on tractors, potato handling equipment, mowers, cotton pickers...pretty much the whole IH line. From the dates on some of the pages, some of the older ones are marked December, 1946...while the tractor line pages are dated January, 1959. Since there are no pages on the H, M, 300-450 tractors [the ones in the catalog are the Cub, 140, 240, 340, 460, 560, and 660], I'd guess that Dad kept the catalog updated thru at least 1959, and removed the pages that IH told them to remove when the new products replaces some old products, or when some old products were discontinued and not replaced. The binder and contents are about 3" thick. A couple of the index tabs are missing, and Dad had replaced the missing ones with handwritten pages on colored paper. So I'm calling this a full-line catalog from early 1959. While I'm not exactly looking to sell, I just wonder if any of you know an approximate value. One of Dad and Grand-dad's old advertising thermometers, about 4"x10", minus any manufacturers' logos but mentioning "International Trucks and Tractors," Husdon Automobiles and Service," and "Goodrich Tires and Batteries", sold at an estate auction Saturday for $200. [I WASN'T the winning bidder.] So...does this have any value to anyone besides me? The faded red binder is lettered "INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER GENERAL LINE CATALOG," followed by the IH logo, then the words "Farm Operations Equipment." The lettering looks like it may have been gold. Any ideas?

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to.
