In case anyone is interested, The Celebrated Burgeon Stamp Collection, is older than Gare remembered. This catalog dates from around 1906 to 1912.
Which, for us, is really good news; because creative, copyright protected work that was published before 1923, is now in the public domain.
About 10 years ago I spotted this catalog at a local garage sale for $4.00. I bought it and stuck it in a bookshelf and basically forgot about it. In 2006 I came across it again (in my own bookshelves ) and got curious about it. I Googled around and found a Reusche & Co. in Colorado who still sell glass and china painting supplies. I wrote them and asked them if they were the same folks and did they know when the catalog would have been published, and got this kind reply.

L. Reusche & Co. was started in 1906 with sales offices in N.Y. It was moved to Newark, NJ in 1929 until I moved it to Colorado in 1996. This catalog would be around 1908-1912. Hope this helps.
