Following up on the wonderful lists of sources re: prices and
economics, a new set of resources is coming online right now that
should be of interest (for more than just prices).

Winterthur Museum, DE, who has an outstanding collection of trade
catalogs -- among so much else -- is in the process of scanning and
putting online their collection.  As I understand it, they expect to
have 2,000 catalogs online by the end of the year.  They have started
putting them online now and can be found at
