Hercules Catalogue

[Dogtrousers]

I have a Hercules catalogue, I'm guessing it's from the 50s. I've had it for a very long time - it just surfaced during a tidying session.

I know there are collectors' websites that like to host this kind of stuff and I'm happy to scan it and send the images. Any thoughts on what to do with it?

Three sample pages follow

Woo £30. I could be rich.

I got it in the 80s when I was working for a small department store. They were remodelling upstairs and what had been a store room was being opened up for sales use and my job was to lug the junk from the store room to the bins downstair before repainting and putting up shelves. I saved it from the junk. So technically I nicked it and they could come after me for their £30. If they still existed. Which they don't.

My first bike was a Hercules, must have been circa 1956

That's a very nice catalogue and it actually dates to 1937. We have a full scan in our online library which has over 20,000 items for Veteran-Cycle Club members.

Thanks for the info on the date.

I'll just pack it away again and it'll resurface in a few years when I have another clear out

I now know my catalogue was nearly 20 years earlier (see above). But as the war intervened maybe their product line up was not too changed. Here's the relevant page

1937 catalogue has a different page layout.
