Rickenbacker Literature

Here's some literature I've gathered over the years.  The manila envelope contained a dealer packet sent from Radio & Television Equipment Co. (the official name of Rickenbacker's distribution company) to Lambert Music in Biddeford, Maine.  Included in the packet was the green 1954 catalogue and pricelist (which introduced the Combo 600 & 800), along with a catalogue and pricelist for Concerto, Nova, and Starmaker band instruments.  Leaflets for each brand were also included in the packet.  The 1954 price for a Combo 800 was $279.50 & the Combo 600 was 229.50.  Also pictured is a color catalogue from about 1960, and a pricelist from July 10, 1961 which allowed one to order a 325 for $349.50, a Combo 850 for $225.00, or a 394 (full-size body, with hand carved top and back, three pickups, and vibrato) for $874.50.
