About this Item

Brown cloth. Small folio. 319pp. Illustrated. Victorian-era trade catalogue issued by this Connecticut company. The W. & B. Douglas Company was a foundry and machine shop from 1839-42 when they invented a revolving stand pump. They were also an early innovator in developing fire hydrants and small fire-fighting engines, as well as pumps used by fruit orchards and growers in spraying trees and plants.

A good copy with some rubbing and soiling to the covers and some wear to the upper spine. A few pages, including the title, have some heavy foxing and there is some spotting to a few page margins else the text is very good and clean. Scarce. Seller Inventory # 11543
