Default Estes & Centuri Seasonal Sales Catalogs

I have been collecting Estes catalogs for some time now, and I am curious about their seasonal sales catalogs. I have a few of these (see attached images), so the question is what other years were they sent out? Hopefully some else can add some information about these catalogs.

I don't remember them having those after about '85.

Thanks for the link. He had 2 that I have not seen before. I've attached the cover images. I'll have to scan the ones I have to pdf.

Centuri had their own versions of these sales catalogs also, but I don?t think theirs started quite as far back as 1976. Seems like their first was around 1978 or 1979 or so and continued pretty regularly through to about 82 or very early 83. Of course, Centuri was done by the end of 83.

The Centuri issues were pretty much the same size and general format as the Estes versions.

At one time I recorded eBay sales of model rocketry items, including catalogs. Here is a list of sale and seasonal catalogs for both Estes and Centuri, with a very brief description of each. Centuri also issued multipage inserts for their catalogs during a few years, which I have not included here because they were not stand alone catalogs.

Hmmm............OK, so YORF is not uploading the Excel file for me. PM me if you are interested in obtaining the file and I will email it to you. Incidentally, there were 20 such catalogs from Estes, 8 from Centuri.

I've probably got all of those, but unfortunately, they had coupons in them and I know I cut the coupons out of some of them.

I?ll scan and make pdf files of mine and the nine finger versions. Unfortunately, it appears that parts are cut out of the nine finger catalogs.
