Hard to find, the original catalogs have been widely dispersed and costly, yet they provide primary information to enable identification of thousands of pieces found on the vintage market today. These original catalogs can cost $100's of dollars. There are over 1,500 different pieces illustrated.

The jewelry section includes women's and men's gold and silver designs, especially those made during the 1940's, which have been difficult to identify previously.

The enormous section on hollowware here especially displays hundreds of designs from the late 1950's and early 1960's. During this period, Georg Jensen designers expanded their range of tea sets, pitchers, bowls, etc. to include very popular modern forms based on Scandinavian design principles. These designs have remained among the most cherished Georg Jensen forms up to the present. The catalog descriptions include the product numbers, original retail prices from the mid-century era, measurements, and designers.
