This is a shot in the dark. I assume its likely that those who have great sources for vintage Danish furniture catalogs would prefer not to spread them around. I see a lot of great catalog scans here, and I'm eager to start a collection by just getting my hands on one or two! I'm in love with the graphic design in some of them- but I'm also in love with their resource value.
Come to think of it, if anyone is interested in selling one, maybe a duplicate, I might just be your guy.

Willing to part?
Leif, I've seen your scans- some just amaze me. Recently you posted a page from a Hvidt & Mølgaard section of a catalog. I think you put it up in the John Stuart table thread. It has a black and white diptych with a stretch of green overlay. That stuff makes me go crazy.
Anyway- I do feel uncomfortable asking collectors questions like this, but powering through that, are you willing to part with any of your catalogs? Or, give me a tip on how to track them down. I love scans, but I'm much more interested in the physical thing.

Leif: I can't wait to see some more pages from that catalog.
Simon: I appreciate the suggestion. I will probably end up grabbing one of those.
I suppose I'll have to really keep my eyes peeled with the hope that I may happen upon some primary documents.

You need patience
Or deep pockets.
Mobilia is a good source but VERY expensive in large consecutive numbered collection.
I have patience as two clients have promised me libraries of books "when i get round to it"
One has a huge early 1950s stack of mobilia while the other has a small but important 1st -6th edition of design from denmark /scandinavia that she wants to sell me.
I offered £500 for the 6 books but she would not sell yet.
So patience and deep pockets.
Link below is to auction back in 2012 for mobilia.

Mobilia #86
Well I just found and bought my first Mobilia issue. It's from 1962. I'm sure I didn't get the best deal in the world, but I'm glad to have kicked off a collection. It apparently has articles on J.L. Møller's "new" furniture factory, and Picasso carpets, among others.

Risom
If you're interested, there's a mid 50's Risom catalog currently for auction on eBay. These pop up from time to time.
