Thanks for the link. I just purchased some Kirtland rear panniers from another BF member and was wondering which exact model they were (S/T) so the old catalogs were very useful. We used their smaller Century 200 front panniers on our tandem for daily commuting in the late '70s. Their panniers and other bags were highly regarded in the '70s but I remember them as being rather high in price. Don't know what happened to the company but by 1980 they had lots of competition and I had the impression that the popularity of bike touring was starting to decline.
