One fold out plan. Publisher's burgundy cloth with gilt spine and cover lettering. Minor extremity wear but a very good solid and attractive copy.John C. De La Vergne organized the De La Vergne Refrigeration Machine Co. The original intent was to manufacture refrigeration machines for breweries. His first machine had a 70-ton refrigeration capacity for Burr & Son Co. brewery in New York City. Soon the company was providing refrigeration for most of America’s best known breweries as well as some overseas. By the 1890s De La Vergne refrigeration was used by hotels restaurants dairies creameries chocolate manufacturers steamships and many more businesses.After De La Vergne died in 1892 the business was taken over by Jacob Ruppert who was interested in oil engines to meet the demand to power ice-making machines. “The result” said the 1936 issue of the Baldwin-Southwark Magazine “was the first commercially successful oil engine in the world.” In 1903 De La Vergne Refrigeration manufactured a 125 HP dual flywheel oil engine for display at the 1904 World’s Fair in St.Louis.

1904réf. 75659New York : Veedee Manufacturing Company 1904. First edition of the trade catalog marketing a vibrator which they unfortunately entitled "The Veedee." Small octavo. 16 pp. including 6 pages of photographic illustrations of the device itself and its various methods of application. Publisher' printed red wrappers. Lower tip of rear wrapper with a very small piece excised else a very good copy.As often the case with promotional material this pamphlet starts off with many laudatory reviews: "What a gigantic thrill"; "I'd rather have a vibration treatment than eat": "It simply thrills the pain out of you." Then comes the litany of ills that this wonder device will do away with; deafness influenza asthma. kidney disease rheumatism gout paralysis sciatica etc. A fun chapter is called "A Pleasant Sensation." From the illustrations it appears to be a hand-held device you would crank to provide the "vibrations." OCLC locates zero copies. Veedee Manufacturing Company unknown
1901réf. 73582Buffalo NY: George Werner 1901. First edition Oblong quarto. 12 pp. Printed on rectos only. Illustrated. Publisher's string-tied blue wrappers lettered in silver. Very good; no real issues.This pamphlet is composed of two illustrations of Werner's Speed Wagons one in color and the remaining pages tout the excellence of his vehicles. The first wagon shown is labeled No. 2: Regular Speed Wagon and the second is labeled No. 3; Speed Wagon on Wheels. Presumably George had already retired No. 1 in all three copies located by OCLC there are six leaves present as here. Werner's speed wagons could probably outrun any vehicle on a 1901 road. They had tubular steel running gear wire wheels and pneumatic tires. George Werner founded the family carriage business soon after the Civil War and produced vehicles for wealthy Buffalonians until 1904. George Werner unknown
1874réf. 76466Worcester: The West & Lee Game and Printing Co. 1874. First edition. Small octavo. 31 1 pp. plus five foldout engravings of people playing the games numerous textual illustrations of required equipment. Publisher's printed light sage wrappers. A couple of chips to the lower corner of rear wrappers one of the foldouts with a tear at the fold-line light spine erosion. But a very good copy of this very ephemeral piece. Game rules seem to have had short life spans.There is no history or definition of this game but from reading the catalog it seems to be a variety of croquet. But instead of simple hoops this game used very elaboarate and expensive pieces. Castles that actually look like castles for example. This was an expensive piece of advertising and surely was meant more as a promotional than as a catalog. A yard game for the well heeled. The West & Lee Game and Printing Co. unknown

réf. 76847N.p.: N.p. ca. `975. Presumed first edition. Oblong quarto 11 1/8 x 8 inches. 29 leaves paginated with no gaps and printed on rectos only bearing 466 patterns. No title page but nonetheless a remarkable display of Victorian hair jewelry. Most often used to connote mourning but were used for other purposes as well. Extremely popular in the mid to late 19th century and then all but forgotten. Front blank with old two-inch cellotape repair to leaf 8. Contemporary sand-grain blue cloth with blind stamped borders but no lettering. A bit loose in the binding. Hair jewelry catalogs seldom come up.Hair was fashioned into a piece that was braided woven or otherwise worked into a form and a design. Brooches bracelets earrings watch fobs and rings could be made from hair. While it is impossible to declare with any certainty we find in the catalog of hair jewelry by Charles T. Menge of New York ca. 1875 exactly the same twining borders and two pieces that are a definite match. Of course copying was probably rampant then but an interesting tidbit nonetheless as this would make it an American company rather than a British one. N.p. hardcover
