Ok, but it's going to cost you $91.50 according to the price list!

Hey, that was probably a week's salary in 1924 for an average, working guy. Inflation Calculator puts that at $1,250.00 in today's dollars.

Thank you to all above. I will probably scan this catalog and price list for my records and then sell the catalog.

Hi Wayne, Thank you, this is the only one I've ever seen. I didn't pay $97.00 for the catalog though, that was a price quote from the price list for a drum set. This catalog is complete front to back, 96 pages, it's amazing it survived at all, but especially in this condition, which I would say is "near mint".
