A fantastic time-capsule of pre-WWII American boating culture, this original 1936 E. J. Willis Co. Boat Supplies Catalog is packed with richly illustrated listings for marine hardware, engines, fittings, tools, sails, lighting, cushions, fire extinguishers, navigation gear, and small boats. The bold red, black, and gold cover artwork — showing a porthole scene filled with nautical equipment — is classic 1930s industrial graphic design.
