Add To Cart

In the late 1940s and all through the 1960s, Irving Klaw sent out illustrated bulletins to his mail order customers showing what was new, and, in case anybody had missed anything, what was old. Usually these bulletins appeared in the form of a 4-page (sometimes 8 page) 8.5 x 11 inch catalogue containing small sample photos of the bondage, fetish and conventional pinup pictures, films and cartoons, which were available in the Klaw inventory. Twice a year came the biggie - "Cartoon and Model Parade," a giant 40 page illustrated booklet showing off a larger cross-section of the wondrous Klaw line. Usually, about 10 of these pages had to do with bondage. What we have here is a collection of 74 of those bondage pages from about 10 of those "Cartoon and Model Parades" of the early 1950s. It is one of the largest collections of Klaw out-of-print bulletins ever assembled.
