Old Rocket Catalogs from the 1960's

[PhoenixGuy]

While looking through my old model rocket literature recently, I found the following very old catalogs (mostly in good to excellent condition): Coaster Corporation (1962 and 1964); AMROCS (Advanced Model Rocket Systems - 1966?); Rocket Development Corporation (1962 and 1966); Krueger Rocket Company (Catalog No. 101); Centuri Engineering(1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966); Estes (1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969).

Would there be any interest in my posting copies of pages from any of these old catalogs? (due to the personal memories involved, I may not be willing to auction off some of these catalogs at this point).

Please scan the Coaster, AMROCS, '62 RDC and Krueger catalogs. The others are already online at Ninfinger. Check your AMROCS catalog to see if it's the same as this:

If so, no need to scan that one.

Thanks!

Would ".pdf" be a suitable format for sending to the Forum?

Also, I have the following copies of Estes' "Model Rocket News", published approximately 4 times annually starting in 1961: July 1961 (4 pages); October 1961 (10 pages); February 1962 (8 pages); November 1964 (12 pages).

Should I scan and send these also (at a later date)?

I also have many other model rocket publications of that era - NAR newsletters, etc. Let me know if you would like any details on the additional publications in my possession.

Thank you for letting us know about these, PhoenixGuy!

Sometimes really humble unimportant things like an invoice, small pamphlet or sheet of paper shipped with an order might have interesting information about company or product history.

The Model Rocket News was published in a collection, but some of the information was changed and edited. "Free plans" are mentioned in the MRN; I don't know if I've seen originals.

I noticed Ninfinger yesterday had the 1966 Centuri catalog listed as "NEW" posted on 4/19/16.

Yes, PDF is fine. We could use the MRN's too when you have time.
