I remember quite a while ago i subscribed to Blackhawk films when they were at there peak. I use to recieve a small newspaper type catalouge on a regular basis. They were absolutly cramed, (many were marked as not for sale outside the US and canada. Unfortunatly i made the mistake of not keeping any and now would love to read through one.Is ther anyone out there who has any they may want to sell on if so i'd love to hear from you. [Wink]

Tom,

I've got a 1976 issue and you are welcome to a copy. If anyone is prepared to copy the Railway Film pages from '50s and '60s issues, I would be grateful.

I remember a couple of years ago, Steve Osborne (publisher of "Reel Image" magazine, USA) was selling back issues of Blackhawk catalogs, very reasonably priced in the five dollar range. He may still have some.

I have two or three from about 1971/1972 - I'm looking for ones from about 1963 through 1971, which are the prime years I collected - Also need the CASTLE FILMS catalogue from '76 - The last one - Shorty

Check out ebay. Blackhawk catalogs pop-up from time-to-time. I too have fond memories of ordering from Blackhawk during my childhood. I was able to get five issues via ebay for $10.00.

The Reel Image site seems to be having problems.

I've only managed to pick up one Blackhawk cat. on Ebay in three years looking.
