A group of 50 9x12 pages (25 leaves) removed from a hardbound Fort Dearborn Watch & Clock Co catalogue featuring chafing dishes, coffee percolators and alcohol stoves by Manning Bowman and Landers, Frary & Clark. Also includes several items in reticulated metal holders with glass, aluminum or ceramic linings by these 2 manufacturers (casseroles, relish dishes, muffin stands, cake baskets, etc). There are also a few sewing machines, some gas lighting ceiling fixtures, carpet sweepers, etc. Of interest is a Mission style chafing dish mounted on the heavy oak base and a page of loving cups (trophies) by Manning Bowman of solid copper and featuring their Nubian Bronze finish. This catalog was undated - I believe it was issued sometime in the 1920's [please see photo of catalog cover which is NOT included in this auction].
Condition: These pages are in good, legible condition - there is some tanning, edge-wear and corner creases but these are still quite useful for reference. No odor. [Note that these are original pages, not photocopies.]
