By chance, are there any fossils in those catalogs?  I would be very
interested if there were.

Thanks

dear colleagues,

I have received bunch old price-lists,  from the old time before 1939. They
are all in German language and price-lists are from following companies:
Felix L. Dames (Berlin), A. Kricheldorf (Berlin), Ernst A. Böttcher
(Berlin), George Boidylla (Berlin) , Jurgen Schröder (Holstein), Heinrich
E.M. Schultz (Hamburg), Adolf Hoffmann (Wien),  O. Staudinger & A.Bang-Haas
(Dresden), E.Reitter (Troppau), J.V. Stejskal (Husovice by Brunn).

First I am surprised how many companies make living on insects before the
second war, and quality books and catalogues that was published in this
time. All companies looks like they have published few times per year
catalogues with over 60 pages...

I would like to also know if there was similar companies in France, England
or USA or Japan and Latin America..

I like to know if there any paper about this price-lists, and insects
dealers from old times...

Keep care and be of good cheer.
