In need of Golding-Pearl Catalog

I am restoring this, dare I say it, “cute” little paper cutter for my girl friend. I am desperately trying to get her into book arts! She is not only loving doing it with me, but hey— I get a pretty girl to bind books with. So, at any rate I have this Golding-Pearl small table top cutter. The cutter was covered in surface rust, but is cleaning up to be a real gem.

Unfortunately, the arm is broken clean off. I have a machinist friend who could remake that part for me, but I really want to know what the original looked like.

Does anyone have an old Golding pearl catalog with cutters in it they wouldnt mind selling? or scanning? I just really wanna see that nice old engraving of this machine… hopefully that exists.

I am open to any and all suggestions.
Many thanks,
Jay

PS— I own a very similar, slightly larger Golding pearl (its a real rust bucket) that I have been using as reference, as many of the parts are nearly identical but slightly larger. I could post pics of that if anyone thinks it would help them to help me.

Thanks again!

I am also open to buying parts if someone by some slim chance has a matching parts cutter. Though I know those pickings are slim…

You need to speak to John Falstrom. His website is:
