Only in the evening, Jim.

Thanks for posting that. I love seeing how prices have changed, but the gas tank analogy John made is pretty good. Diced hose and gas in the UK are both pretty dear I guess!

There's an Anderson catalogue which appears to be the same as the one I posted, on Ebay right now, just a heads-up if anyone is interested in getting into the vintage catalogue collecting thing...

That style, Richard, would certainly flatter the man with the fuller figure. And by the look of it, could be used to show off a contrasting waistcoat to good effect.

Please forgive my tardiness; I've been working with the kids to get them caught up on their schoolwork, since they started a week late. But this morning, I sat down at the scanner with a cup of coffee, and here's my undated Anderson catalogue. As I had said, the bookseller dated it as 1930; you can compare the information yourselves and see if you think it's a bit earlier than Richard's. It's definitely abbreviated in content! The light card cover faces each measure 137mm x 199mm; each page measures 133mm x 190mm. Here we go...
         
Let's see how that worked out. Hope you find this of interest.

Thank you Mainer, very interesting.
I note the first two pictures top left, go under the heading of; " The Scottish National Dress" which of course is also the book title(as seen in the picture of the first post in this thread) and perhaps explains, in another thread going at the moment, the difference of perspective between some Scots and er, well, some others who seem rather perplexed with this thought.
I am not wishing to add fuel to any fire, or, wreck this thread, just observing though.
