While researching the Marion steam shovel, I came across a great library site with hundreds of vintage catalogs scanned and available in PDF form - the Carnegie library has 683 catalogs ranging from locomotives to cranes to traction engines to roadbuilding equipment to automobiles to electrical parts.
On a detail page for a catalog, use the 'Download' button near the upper right to get the pdf files.

Here is a link to the Marion catalog 50:

They even have an illustrated catalog for the Columbian Worlds fair!
