If you can post a photo of the center spread, showing a view of the staples that bind the booklet together, it would give a better insight if it was a repro copy, or an original.
As far as an excellent resource for information, it still has value weather it is an original or a copy.

My dad has a copy of this catalog also.
I read to look at the staples in the middle how will this help identify copy or original?

Not sure how many times nor when the catalog was reproduced, but the one I have is very clearly marked on its back outside cover that it is a reprint. I’ve never seen a corresponding price list. BTW I’ve had mine a looong time, maybe 50 years. Bought it “new” at a show in the early 1970s and it’s lived mostly in a desk drawer since then (and inside a clear plastic bag for the past 20-30 years) but you can see how much age has darkened the paper during that time. Just for reference - not sure whether that has any bearing on judging the age of yours. ::hmm:: ::shrug::
