<p>[QUOTE="mark737, post: 4298362, member: 14894"]Hard to say if auction houses would be interested, but no cost in sending out some emails. You do see old catalogs come up for auction that sell for decent money, but they tend to be the bigger names like Herman Miller and Knoll. There are only a few designers you see named with Tomlinson, like John Lubberts & Lambert Mulder, not very well known names, and mostly in the 50's. Without a known designer attached to the sketches, the value will be lower. But the nice thing about a catalog or sketchbook is the shipping costs are pretty low so you're not out a lot of money up front to send it to an auction house. Or you can always try to sell yourself on EBay and see how it goes. Also, Tomlinson is still in business in North Carolina, so you could try contacting them to see if they might be interested in buying it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
