S.D. Myres catalogs

[Kansasgunner]

Two friends and I made the drive to KC, MO for the MVCA Gun Show yesterday. No big finds, but I did find two Myres catalogs one from 1961 and one from 1977. The 1977 catalog has a sticker on the back stating “Effective Jan. 1st 1978 the new address is PO Box 357 Millis, MA 02054”.
Prominently posted on page 3 is the introduction of Frank LaCroix and his assurance of the continuing quality of Myres leather goods.
I believe this era is covered quite well in Holstory by Red Nichols and John Witty.

I also found page 8 interesting as it features “Butterfly Holsters”. I will assume this is to differentiate them from “Roy’s Pancake Holsters”.

I always hoped to run into one of those full flap butterfly holsters. I’ll keep looking.
Catalogs are important to have, good score there Tim.

I have never seen one of those before, even in a picture, until now. John, have you ever seen one in person?

I don’t think so, Larry-I would hopefully have bought it.
Always looking though.
