I just recently was fortunate enough to get my hands on this phenomenal catalog and just completed scanning and uploading it. Some real gems in here that I'd not seen before, and I can only hope I get the chance to see a few of the snaths and cradles shown here in person. Much like the Derby, Ball, & Edwards catalog I'd previously uploaded, this one tells the retailer to destroy any old catalogs in their possession--no wonder I hadn't seen any Seymour catalogs from the golden age of scythes pop up in the past! This one was likely printed roughly a few years plus-or-minus 1931 due to the inclusion of loose-leaf snaths patented late that year.

This is great stuff - not only lots of cradle and hardware details, but also a raft of post hole diggers, as well.

Thanks for sharing your find!
 
I think she's lovely. It's this tiny ad that called her crazy:
