    Remember "Frames" subscription catalog? Someone is looking for old ones!

    If you haven't cleaned out your back room in the last fifty years, you might still have some. I'm pretty sure it was just called "Frames" and I think it was updated a couple of times a year with supplements. I know someone who is looking for copies from the 40s, 50s, and 60s. If you've got any, please let me know and I'll put him in touch with you.

    Thanks!

    Thanks, Chris, but he wants the specifications on the frames. He has some idea of starting a company to make new retro frames, so he was hoping to find mid-century copies of Frames because that has all the information: A, B, ED, DBL, etc. I'm kind of dubious that he'll be able to do what he wants, but I said I'd post a query.

    I have several FRAMES catalogs from the mid 60's for sale. The catalog started around 1966 or so as my number 3 catalog is from 1968. The older catalogs are awesome showing all the specs and the prices in back. They are collectors items so are pricey. You can PM me with your email or his email.
