1946 Brown & Bigelow 50th Anniversary Business Builder Catalog
Original 1946 Brown & Bigelow 50th Anniversary Business Builder Annual. Copyright 1945 for the 1896-1946. This is the complete salesman sample catalog.
Artists in this 50th edition
• Earl Moran - including "Reverie" and "The Right Number"
• Gil Elvgren - ballerina / showgirl plates
• Rolf Armstrong - you called Elgin Armstrong
• Norman Rockwell tradition - Boy Scout / Scouting plates
• Lawson Wood - Monkey "AT IT AGAIN" telephone booth series
• Plus sporting dogs, kids, hunting, wildlife and more.
Condition - Interior is EXCELLENT for 80 years old.
The pin-up art plates - Moran, Elvgren, Armstrong - have no problems. No tears, no writing, no foxing. Colors are incredible!
A couple of the other subjects in the back have a very minor scrunch at the edge from 80 years of handling - very minor, does not affect image. Front cover has light handling crease as expected for age. Spiral tight, all pages intact.
Please use the many pictures your guide to condition and what is included.
None of the 110 pages are missing. I counted 26 prints 12 of which are pinups and they’re also a couple of foldout pages and a great Norman Rockwell, Boy Scouts of America print.
This is a beautiful catalogue that rarely comes up, especially like this one!
Thank you for looking and have a great day!
