Articles of War books (here) has facsimile copies of Crescent and Cherilea catalogs for sale(at about $6 each plus postage). They are pretty good copies.
The Crescent reprints are shown on pages 16-17 of Rose's Collector's Guide to Toy Soldiers and features a 1949 trade magazine article about the Crescent factory-which includes the actual street address-and pages from the 1936, 1940("War Catalogue"), 1946, 1948 catalog. 20 pp total.
The Cherilea catalogs are a total of 24 pages and seem to have a much more complete figure and set roster than the Cherilea section in the O’Brien Foreign Toy Soldiers book.
