Lot Description
[ADVERTISING]. Pair of broadsides promoting inventions including a "Foot Warmer and Lantern."
Smith's Patent Vapor Light. New York: Waldheimer & Zenn, Printers & Stationers, n.d (visible creasing throughout). Broadside boasts: "After years of study the Inventor has succeeded in bringing before the public, this important invention. The Light Oils, such as Naptha, Benzine, Aurora, Burning Fluid, and all other light Oils, are used with perfect safety." -- J.J. Towle's Combined Foot Warmer and Lantern. N.p., n.d. Broadside claims: "It not only keeps you warm, but lights the road in the night, and when you drive into your stable, you have your Lantern with you. They will not burn or injure the robes, and are not extinguished either by wind or fast driving." -- Together, 2 printed broadsides, each approx. 9 3/8 x 11 15/16 in. (sight), framed to approx. 12 1/4 x 15 1/4 in. (not examined out of frames).
