Really interesting new old catalogue in the Wiki
on: March 06, 2024, 03:04:29 AM
Hi Team

Got hold of this 1960s US catalogue recently and uploaded it to the Wiki
https://sakwiki.com/tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=242&offset=0

The names of the models are fascinating and so different from what we know today

The Huntsman is there as a Woodsman and a Huntsman
The Spartan is called a Camper
The Tinker is only an 84mm model
The Executive is called a Companion ...
The Companion is called an Executive .... WHAT?? 😮
The Automobile is called a Motorist!!
The Luxury Automobile is called a Cadillac!!
The Craftsman (Artisan) vs Master Craftsman finally makes sense!!
The Angler also has a file (and scissors not pliers of course) and fish emblem
The Fisherman has no fish emblem

Pretty much every model is different from what we know today/have in the Wiki

The good news is I think we do have all these name switches in the Wiki! Thanks to the great work of earlier editors

I had one of those Tinkers with the clip point small blade and file on the side of the philips in the mid 60s.  I never realized it was 84mm but it probably was. Stolen in 1978.

Yep, I have one of the early Campers that today we call the Spartan.  I'll see if I have pictures of it somewhere.
