Past Catalogues

The catalogue (or part of it) for 1931. Just 4 pages exist so it is incomplete.

The catalogue for 1937. This was an extensive catalogue and shows just how busy Höfner were just before WWII. Someone left a number of papers inserted into this catalogue where they had been working out sales and pricing. Maybe Josef Höfner? These have been included for the interest value. Pages numbers may be out of order - sorry.

The Hofner catalogue issued in 1952. This was all in black and white. It shows some of the early archtop guitar models. Text is in German and prices are shown in DM.

The Höfner catalogue for 1955. This was in B/W. The copy here is in English and has been used to mark pricing by someone many years ago. At just 16 pages it may not be complete.

The catalogue for 1956. This was partially in colour. This copy has been marked with pricing by someone back in the 50s.

The Hofner Catalogue for 1957 - German copy. This showed or listed the full product range and was printed in colour. 

The Höfner catalogue for 1960 is missing, but we do have the Selmer catalogue for that year. Here it is.

The Hofner catalogue produced in 1964. This was in full colour. This copy from our archive has had prices marked in pen on it. These may have been either the retail or the dealer price.

The Hofner catalogue as produced in 1971. This was available in English and German. This is the English copy and is 51 pages.
