[allcars]

UPDATE: SALE PENDING AS OF 2/5/2018 - ITEM LIKELY NO LONGER AVAILABLE

 

Victor Gasket Guide, April 1936

396 pages + cover.

 

Highly detailed lists of gaskets, grease and oil seals, etc. used on gasoline engines.

Illustrated with many line drawings…great reference! (Presumably, you could scan and scale the drawings up to actual size to make templates.)

Illustrated lists go back to 1924-26 and less detailed listings of earlier items without illustrations are also included.

It seems safe to assume most makes go back at least 10 years (1926-36) if they were in production during that period.

 

Covers about everything made in U.S. with gas engine: cars, trucks, tracked vehicles, etc.
Has bound in 12-page Victor news magazine, with story about newly opened Asbestos plant, etc.

 

8.25x10.75 inches. Very good condition, binding in good shape.

 

Pages are a little warped, from prior dampness, but no strong odors or stuck pages.

$40 plus postage.

 

There is a LOT of good and useful information in this catalog. (Serious buyers, query me via PM if you want to confirm a specific date range for a given make of car or motor.)

PM if you would like to purchase ...

 

Thanks, "Allcars"

The Hupmobile page shown goes back to 1926. Does it go back that far for other models as well? If so, it is obviously a lot more useful than just 1936.

[allcars]

Yes, it does consistently go back further. Buick, etc. illustrated lists go back to 1924-25 and there are even earlier items listed, but not illustrated (and not as comprehensive as the illustrated listings). So, without going through the whole book, it seems safe to assume most makes go back at least 10 years (1926-36) if they were in production during that period. There is a LOT of information in this catalog. (Serious buyers, query me via PM if you want to confirm a specific date range for a given make of car or motor.)

 

Thanks, A. Ballard, for pointing out my oversight...much appreciated.
