Dave, thanks for sharing the photos of the catalog.  I love looking through old
catalogs like that.  Reminds me of getting that sears catalog as a kid around
christmas time.  I could spend hours looking through it.

I picked up a similar catalog a few years ago from Seattle Hardware Company.  I
think mine dates to around 1907-1908.  That is based on items listed (there is
mention of the new Luger semi automatic pistol which came out in 1900 or so) and
some local timeline history.  Here's some photos of the tools section.  The book
is over a thousand pages plus and has everything in it and I mean everything.
The fishing and hunting sections are cool, too.  The tools are here:
