That is about the going rate for an original actually a bit less.
There are so many reprints of this catalog one has to be careful.
I have a couple reprints and one original.
Reprints have been going for about $50 or less.
If yours is truly original you got a steal.

Ron,
Is this perhaps "e-bay" bizarreness?
There is a Roger Cox Thompson book on Sturm for "only" $275 (still way more than I feel the urge to pay):

How can the '29 catalog get $510??
I'm confused.

Evilbay had a Roger Cox book that went for $275.
As for the 29 catalog well all I can say is someone paid it.

I guess that I was lucky to get an original for what I paid. I have purchased Thompson items for more than I thought they were worth. In every case the items went up in price, and are selling for more than I paid.
Collecting Thompson guns and items are no longer a average persons hobby. Unless you are willing to part with real money there is no room for you in the hobby. The average person having an interest in owning a 21 should just forget it.
My first 21 was obtained in trade for two AR15's, with a Colt C drum and Colt L drum and original case thrown in.
This catalog went for twice what I had in the 21.
Wonder where the market will be in 10 years.
