I have what I think is a showroom three ring binder of products from a well know maker of radios and large appliances from the 1940's.
It has a picture and and full descriptions of sizes, dimensions,etc.) for every model made that year. There are 25 radio's/phonographs alone and about 35 pages of other appliances.
I know there are a lot of old radio collectors and not so many appliance collectors. Now I could put them up separately but there is only one binder. Of course some people would be interested in the company also. But I think the radios would be the most desired. Any suggestions on how to list this? It really is a great booklet.

I'd go for the radio crowd myse'f. Other option would be to list it for 10 days and change categories a couple of times.

Islander do you mean sell the radio pages alone in the binder and maybe sell the appliance pages together but loose?

I would sell each one separately without the binder--and then sell the binder separately also if it has the name of a well-known company on the cover

I'd sell it all as one item in the radio section because I think it would have more historical value that way rather than separated into two or three parts. I'd use keywords for the company and the appliances in my title, though, to possibly attract a broader audience.

I agree with RainyBear (Hi, Rainy -- GO MARINERS!!!!)
Breaking the notebook up and selling things separately is going to greatly increase the time investment, and, I'd bet, not do much to increase the total sales price.

Your item might not fetch as much if you break it up. Put it in radio's and appliances, you should beable to get that on one line but if you can't I would think that most people use besides the search the little box that says check also in descriptions. I think taking the book apart and selling it that way is like taking the drawers out of a sewing machine and selling them separate. Takes the value away from it. Good Luck.
