Re: Assignment Time!
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.
