In addition to my Griswold iron collection, I already own four Griswold catalogue reprints; three that I purchased from David Smith's site, and the one that was printed as a faux price guide by L&W. The dates or numbers of all four are 1890-1891, 1904 (catalogue no. 40), 1918 (catalogue no. 47), and 1940-1942. I didn't order the hotel/restaurant catalogue E-39 that is availible from David Smith's site when I ordered the other three, since it sounds in his description like it has more to do with large-scale commercial equipment than with household-sized cast iron . I'm wondering two things. First, can anybody that has seen a reprint of catalogue E-39 tell me if they think that it has as much merit to a Griswold iron collector as the other four that I already mentioned? In other words, does it have information for things like skillets and griddles, or is it all big hot plates and ovens and such? Second, is there any other source for Griswold catalogue reprints, either scans that are available on-line or reprints that are available for purchase at a reasonable price? I don't even know if other reprints exist, but the ones that I've been able to find leave a gap in the '20s and '30s. Thank you for your help.
