1914 Folio Catalog: P. E. Guerin, Inc. Manufacturer of Period Hardware and All Forms of Art Metal Work de P. E. Guerin, Inc - 1914

New York: P. E. Guerin, 1914. Wraps. Very good. 14.5 x 11.5 inches, stiff thick card covers with "Period Builders Hardware" printed on front cover, in metal spiral binding, with select pages (probably 200-250 pp) from the original 444 pp. catalog, which we believe are original unbound sheets from 1914; has engraved photo-gravure frontispiece of Guerin, who died in 1911, the pages are on thick art-paper semi-gloss stock; it would appear that someone found a batch of unbound Guerin catalog sheets and supplied covers and a spiral binding. There are a few copies of this and the original catalog (Catalog number 4) cited by OCLC/Worldcat, hard to tell how many were bound up or when; we'd guess late 1960s or early 1970s, but this could be from the 1950s or perhaps the 1980s. We just don't know! But we're convinced that the contents were printed in 1914. Some tanning, light wear and stains to covers, contents very good. RARE.
