grubb1937 has posted some terrific pictures on Flickr. They include vintage catalog and advertisement scans, as well as pictures he has probably taken himself. Provides a wealth of great information that would be difficult to find otherwise. What do you think?

Neat pile of history on that site. :thumb:
