I spent hundreds of dollars many times just for a photo copy of ONE catalog and always scanned everything. I have paid a thousand dollars just for one original catalog many times! I hope in offering this drive to the public I will now begin to recoup a small percentage of what I have put into this in dollars and TIME which seems impossible when thinking back of the years spent in all of this. If you are looking to ID a lamp or shade it could likely be in here! AMAZING group of catalogs! Using this collection you will be able to research find and date your lamps, shades, parts, etc.. ? You will also be able to spot forgeries and marriages of old shades to bases because some of these catalogs are mixed with the same era lamp parts and items :. DON’T BE FOOLED ANY MORE! For those that do not realize it, you you are getting all of these catalogs pennies without even considering the cost of the hard drive! What is the research value? Just for example, one catalog alone (the 1908 John Morgan & Sons, Brooklyn NY) contains OVER 250 different fixtures and 150 shades of different styles! The Mitchell Vance Collection, The R. White Collection, Faries Collection, W. Brown, Edison, Toledo Chandelier, Central Electric, Horn & Brannen, Bauer, Westinghouse, St. Louis Brass, Beardslee, Loomis, Handel, Tiffany, Moe Bridges, Hubbell, Bryant, E.

The lighting catalogs range mostly from 1850 to 1930 and contain many plates (many full color) and pictures of early lighting, shades and lighting parts as well as many different electrical and household items. This drive has a crazy amount of data. And years of accumulation of Daily Hours. In research taking up over 15,650 folders. And 3,782,400 files. My web site has been offline for a while, the live backup is also included here! The old antique sockets web page backup with many years of research! This is loaded with pages and pages of research documentation, pictures, pdf files, news clipping, old catalogs, etc.. Find it easy to date your sockets, lamp parts and learn more about rare items and what to look for. I figure the best way is to not gouge researchers for hundreds per catalog, but just offer everything at once or in groups (DVD sales) for a reasonable cost that will help meet my now retired monthly needs over time. Electrical code books, lighting, etc.. I also sort by items such as bulbs, meters, fans, arc lamps, shades, gas, electric, sockets, switches, etc.. LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL COMPANIES & AD’S:? This is 626 different electrical company folders with either company catalogs, research info or ads, etc.. (see list of companies below). A work in progress that you can add to or finish. A group of folders such as EVERYTHING BULBS & Early Lamps: This folder has 1,809 Files, 132 Folders of catalogs, ads and research about antique light bulbs. Then the same thing for folders such as. EVERYTHING ADJUSTABLE LIGHTING, EVERYTHING ARC LAMPS, EVERYTHING DYNAMOS, EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL SUPPLY, EVERYTHING ELSE EARLY1840+, EVERYTHING ELSE FIXTURES, EVERYTHING ELSE GAS, EVERYTHING FANS, EVERYTHING INSULATOR & LINE MATERIAL, EVERYTHING KEROSENE Lighting, EVERYTHING LEADED OR SLAG GLASS, EVERYTHING MISSION STYLE, EVERYTHING PORTABLE, EVERYTHING REFLECTORS, EVERYTHING RHEOSTAT, EVERYTHING SHADES GLOBES REFLECTORS, EVERYTHING SHADES GLOBES REFLECTORS, EVERYTHING SIGNS_LIGHTING & SIGNS, EVERYTHING STREET&ARC Lighting, EVERYTHING TELEPHONE, EVERYTHING WIRE GUARD, METERS SWITCHES, Universal-Electric-Stage-Lighting-CO?? CATALOG IMAGES FOLDER. Catalogs Images (this is separate from the scans drive). A folder for each lighting and electrical catalog with a high resolution image file for each page. 68,927 Files, 496 Folders. Every photo ever taken of every item, before and after pictures of restorations, photos of others items, collections, web site Q&A pics, this list has many pictures never seen on the web site and many personal fixes, mods, repros, techniques, etc.. NOTHING IS LEFT OUT! This has every picture ever passed through my computer for lighting, electrical, antique, etc.. 96,317 Files, 2,877 Folders. CATALOGS – Lighting and Electrical Supplies (10,876 Files, 805 Folders). OTHER CATALOGS: 121,411 Files 1,058 Folders. BOOKS – ARC Street Or Outdoor Lighting Related? BOOKS – Architectural?

Van Nostrand Publishers – New York, Western Electrician – Electrician Publishing Co. Chicago, AND other misc. I have sorts to make finding patents easy. If you know the patent date or even have a good idea of the dat. For example you are not sure if it is a 3 or an 8 or 6. Sometimes a 1 can be a worn 7, etc.. These sorted folders are year, month, and then the days that the patent office was open for that month. 4 or 5 week days. So, easy to simply find what the day is without having to search through many files of different days and years to find the item because in MOST cases the mis-read date will not exist. I also have this nice sorted patent lighting area 39,396 Files, 201 Folders. After 1911, [Theater Architectural or Misc Decorative OR Lighting Effects OR Drafting Furniture], [Trim Shade Parts or Ornament], [Tube Pipe Misc Joints etc], [Window Display or Display Case Store Display Picture Frame Lighting Pulpit Anything Music or Tripod Stand or Misc]. HERE IS THE CATALOGS, AD’S & RESEARCH FOLDERS SECTION. I think you can see just how CRAZY this is for value! Loaded and full of hidden treasures!!! I say this because I also have private areas that were never meant for others eyes. I have not left out anything that I own – everything is on this drive! There is no license or special permission needed to print, copy or use these catalogs for your own personal research and study.
