Online Catalogue last updated 17th of September 2023
This is a faithful reprint of the 1925 Willamette Iron & Steel Works full-line catalog, including their geared locomotive. (There has also been added a few additional pages from their 1926 supplement.)
If you're interested in early industrial equipment, especially logging, you're going to really like this. It's a great combination of product pages plus shots of the equipment at work in the field.
Originals are almost impossible to come by. There has been one we listed for sale with an asking price of US$700, which may have been outrageous but certainly speaks to how rare this particular catalog is.
This reprint is hardbound (it was not possible to exactly duplicate the original binding, but it's in the ballpark) and contains 160 pages. The trim size is 8-1/2" by 11", as was the original. This is a limited printing of only 2,000 copies and no more, so if you're interested don't delay
The items covered in this catalogue are: Skyline equipment including cables, blocks brakes, fairleaders, boilers, winches (steam, gasoline or electric powered); hoisting and lowering engines; line rigging; geared locomotives; there are tables of data for working out cable capacities of drums, railway curves, etc. Lastly there is a parts list for the logging winches and steam locomotives.
