Maybe some of you could scan them in and offer copies. I have done a few and other than all of the multi-address emails, it was easy to do. And it felt good to provide free history to others that appreciate it.
Or, maybe there could be a site created where these pdf. files could be uploaded to?
As was stated above, "I wish I had all that we threw away". Many of us would like to have copies that there may only be one of, left in existence.
Just a thought! I have several I could upload immediately. If others don't have the capability to scan these into a computer. I would be willing to do it. We would just need to mail the items back and forth.
If you don't have a color printer and you want a paper copy, you can take them to an office supply store, Staples, and get color copies.
Like I said, I volunteer to scan and upload. Anyone have web storage resources? Any other volunteers?

I have thought of doing something like that to go along with my youtube page but I've never found a good site to store the pdf files. Since the corporate archive is long gone its up to us collectors to keep track of everything.

jpessek,You have quite the collage of AC Ephemera. Thank you for posting about them. Two publications standout as interesting to me - "Springfield Story" & "Genie Automatic." The Springfield IL dozer plant was about 30 miles from me. While it was in operation, I either too young, not interested, or not living in IL. Now, that I'm back in IL & more interested in AC's history, the plant has been closed for years. My 1977 K2 Gleaner's Genie Automatic header height control unit still operates & makes harvesting soybeans a joy. This early unit functions with simplicity and is easily hooked & unhooked into the combine's hydraulic lift system. |
That's just a small portion, I got around 4 binders of stuff:

That's definitely the oldest one I have I like how it shows them red on the cover when they were actually painted green.

No, you can't go wrong at $1 a pound on some of the newer AC brochures. I have one on the 6000, 8000, and 4W-220, 4W-305. Was at an auction last August and bought an original AC sales manual in a blue binder that covered AC equipment in the 1960's. Only gave $20.00 Canadian for it, which I thought was a fair deal.

I have two full binders of Gleaner combine brochures and a few Allis Chalmers tractor brochures, But it's getting pretty expensive to collect the Allis Chalmers sales brochures these days. Saw a brochure on the AC 7040, 7060, 7080 tractors for sale the other day for $45.00.
Like to get a few more brochures on the tractors but the price needs to be right.
Even the Toy AC stuff seems to be gaining in value as well.

I could of got you as many brochures as you wanted, i know a guy that sold a whole bunch of extras that he had. Most were probably more common newer stuff but you cant go wrong at a $1 per pound. Lol

It is funny that I pay good money for things I THREW AWAY when my father closed his dealership. How Dumb can you be! I have kept things that my father used and touched. His sales briefcase, his small Allis Chalmers Price Book (up to date for 1960), his Knowledge is Power, and other items that were close and used by Pop. They are most valuable to me. In fact, one of my fellow Church members was a Sales Representative for International Harvestor, Baltimore MD. He gave to me his father's price book. My Fellow Church Member is gone now. It is my honor to continue to hold this memorabelia for him. The things that I threw away and would love to have now would be our dealership parts identification set up - all in a computer now -, our literature rack, the literature that was in it, and some of the tools that we gave away to other dealers. Good Luck! Bill Long
