A very Rare 1958 Century Brochure
Today we have decided to start a new regular feature called “What’s In Your Drawers” Thanks to our first Drawer puller Seth Katz for sharing some of his goodies that are tucked away around Katz’s Marina. You know the kinda stuff we are talking about. You see it and think, oh that’s cool, and then put it away in a drawer and forget that you even have it. Today, we do have a bit of a theme though, since we are seeing a bunch of cool Century and Chris Craft Brochures. Blue Arabian and 1948 for WECATCHEM stuff.
Phil will love this one. Two of his boats are on here
Blue Arabian goodness. UPDATE SOON!

With a lead in like “What’s in Your Drawers?” I don’t even dare to comment.
Matt
Step away from the computer Troy, just step back.
Andy in Middletown

I was going to drop my drawers and take pictures of my junk for you, but my wife talked me out of it.
Matt
Your wife is smart.. She did marry you though. So? Just sayn
Dreed
Actually she said you would need a zoom lense on your camera. And you said yea you’re right. Forget it.
m-fine
Rough crowd!
Bert Harris
She probably knows your under powered.

I have always loved the Century 1958 illustrated color brochure…Maybe because I own a 1958 Raven!
Greg Lewandowski
How about some original 1941 advertising. The big sedan is near and dear to my heart!
Jack Schneiberg
At my age – unfortunately – there’s not much in my drawers anymore. I do have some old catalogs on my shelves, however, and today’s post might prompt me to look at them again.
I do have that header shot brochure in my collection. Neato!
David
Is there a way to make the images clickable so they can be enlarged to read? Pretty neat images.
Thanks!
Matt
if you right click on your mouse it says view image and they blow up. Sorry, for some reason it does this now on my stories, Texxs still do that. Texx’s stories is so perfect.. Damm him!
Jim Staib
Stern pole globe that looked like new.
Walt
I’ve got old Johnson parts catalogs in my drawers
C.Chase
From the red tags to dealership I gained more knowledge than before about the break-in and storage than I knew before. I wonder if anyone else really read it.
Mr. Andreas Jordahl Rhude
I have loads of Thompson Boat stuff in my drawers….and I just turned my head and could see the old factory here in Peshtigo, WI

Great feature. Please disregards any stains you may see in my photo. It was probably something on my camera lense.
MikeM
Thank you Floyd for removing them first.
If the idea here is to submit pics of things we forgot we had how will we know we have them? I’m so confused.
Al Benton
Dang, Karen & I just cleaned our drawers of old Chris-Craft stuff and shipped it to the CCABC Archive in Dallas. Had I known, there were some cool pre-war Chris-Craft brochures in the boxes that would have been perfect for your theme. The only things left in the drawers now are old stained drawers that no one is interested in (except floyd r turbo).

If it’s from Katz’s it must be perfect as no one else ever gets a chance on this Web blog.

David,
Take your negative energy elsewhere.
Dave
Just speaking the truth.
Philip Andrew
What a great post today. I love the 50’s Century brochures. The illustrations remind me of the paintings on aircraft kit sets when I was a kid.

Many century items including everything on this page except for the 2 1949 price lists. I have 1949 price list but mine is dated December 1 1948. Also many Chris Craft including a 1930 original 8 page pull out from a magazine… see cover below. I have never seen another for sale… And 2 model brochures from Century Boat Co 1928… The oldest literature I know of for Century…

Wow! Great stuff in all of your drawers. Thanks for sharing…
