This is an interesting catalog of vintage auto camping supplies. I am going to attempt to show the whole catalog. so if it does not work out, I tried. There seems to have been some interest in some earlier posts, about camping supplies for the T era. There are 52 pages, so here we go ...:-)

Clayton, I like the "brass knuckles" as a camp supply. Times must have really been tough back then ..

I still have my Optimus traveling stove, that I got as a gift for my confirmation in 1955. It is exactly as described in this catalog. I think my dad used it more than I did, as he "needed" his "coffee fix" on the road. We carried a coffee pot, a water can, ground coffee and sugar cubes, so when weather permitted, we enjoyed our rest stops along the road. After I got my T a couple of years later, I used it too, as well as tent, sleeping bags and a set of aluminum cooking utensils.

Donnie,

How very kind of you to take the time to load that to the forum ... :-)

I will chip in $5.00 for you to buy anything you want from the catalog ....

Great job, thanks for taking the time to post this!

Donnie's post shows that if there is a limit to the number of pictures that can be embedded in a single post, the limit is way up there.

Royce, thanks for the link to the camping pics. I always like to see the camping from back in the day. The hardest part of this project was the "resizing of the pics" I could resize them as a "batch resize" but they all came out a little different in sizes and displayed differently. So I ended up resizing them one at a time to get them fairly close to the 200 limit. Clayton: the "jitney seats" are made to "hang on a door" That probably would not fly today, looks like a "law suit" waiting to happen ... :-) :-)

I never realized that brass knuckles qualified as camping supplies (page 40)! :-)

Donnie, that was a lot of work. Thanks for all of your efforts.

Just curious - does anyone have any of the items in the catalog that they can post pictures of the items?

I have considered making a lumbar support, but it just seems very non-period correct. Oh, I see now how wrong I am! Page 47 has Easybak Cushions. I'd order a Style No. 1. except they only come is brown or gray Slip cover Fabric or Imitation Leather.

Does the Style 1L (leather ) come in black? If so, I'd like one, please...

Thanks for sharing, Donnie!

: ^ )
