Sports Equipment Catalogue Data Base

[Ron]

Hi does anyone know of a Sports Equipment Catalog Data base that has a a lot of Fall and Winter Catalogs in the data base. I know Baseball Glove Collector has a lot of catalogs in their library but they are spring and summer catalogs. I collect a lot of different types of sports equipment Hockey Football Boxing baseball basketball etc and fall and winter catalogs have the hockey football boxing equipment in them. I am looking for fall and winter catalogs will even want emails of catalogs if anyone has any they could email me (copies). Thanks

Are you looking for catalogs that are specifically sporting goods, or stuff like Sears etc?

I have some old catalogs around somewhere. I'd just need to find them and get pics or something of the pages with the sporting goods. Most of the thick catalogs don't scan well because of the binding.

Ron,

I'm not aware of a database. As a vintage football equipment collector, I've been pulling catalog images off of EBay over the past 10 years to create my own digital reference. I've summarized the listing of Spalding and Reach football helmets on my site.

I've done the same with footballs from multiple manufacturers.

If you're looking for anything specific, I can look through what I have.
