I have 2 old binders each with about 2 1/2" of old Henckels catalog pages; i.e. each is not 1 catalog but an amalgamation of pages from numerous catalogs. I have never gone through either of these page by page but there appears to be little duplication.
The pages do not have dates on them. This is not as much of a 'loss' as you might think because Henckels did not change their products over the years. If you bought a certain Henckels pen knife in 1910 it likely was still offered, identical, in 1950.
Some people try to date Henckels from changes to the "Twins" in the logo. I cannot see enough differences in the Twins to use this for age dating.
Henckels made the widest range of cutlery products, home and industry, of any knife manufacturer worldwide; endless types of knives and almost endless variations of each one.
Here are some pictures of these 2 catalogs.

Re: My 2 Henckels Catalogs
Those are pretty cool, Kjoe. Some of the knives are quite unique!
Wonder why "jewish butcher knives" and a "circumcision knife" are on the same page ....

i woke last night to the sound of thunder
how far off i sat and wondered
started humming a song from nineteen sixty two
aint it funny how the night moves
