Lot Description
Price List of Articles Manufactured by Charles Parker. Hartford, CT: Case, Lockwood and Company, 1862.
8vo. Profusely illustrated. (Minor even toning, dampstain to lower right.) Original publisher's dark green flexible cloth boards gilt (small ink stains, worn edges). Provenance: Anna Blaire, Bucyrus, OH (ownership inscription to front flyleaf).
War-era illustrated catalogue from Charles. Although best known for his high-grade shotguns, this catalogue illustrates and lists his household and business goods including the Army Combination knife, fork, and spoon, spectacles, cigar cases, eating utensils, tobacco tins, vises, sewing machines, etc. An excellent resource for Civil War period household items, many of which ultimately found their way into soldier’s haversacks.
