Any good sources for old Advertisements or catalogs?

[Kev18]

I was wondering if anyone has a site they go to, to find old advertisements on guns or ammo. I like to look at old catalogs for fun and just compare prices.
For example late 19th century adds talking about old Winchester's and all the new products. Even some about ammo, 100 rounds for a few cents. I get bored at night and sometimes google old advertisements but anything barely shows up.

I don't know of any sites, but I will recommend getting a reprint of an old Sears and Roebuck catalog to look at. I've got a 1897 and 1903 reprints, and they show a large selection of guns,ammo, ect. Also very good to identify old tools and other interesting things from another era.

Try www.cornellpubs.com for reprints of gun catalogs and owners info. They sell both on there site and ebay but direct is the way to go.
