From the Second inside page: In presenting this illustrated Catalogue of Iron Fittings we are incorporating a large variety of new lines. Prices have been revised and in some instances reductions have been made. All previous priced catalogues of Fittings shown in this list are therefore cancelled. We have only shown a small selection of Fittings in this new list but we shall be pleased to forward our 70 page Catalogue which covers the entire range of this attractive Ironwork. We wish to draw your attention to the importance of having these goods Sherardized as a protection against rust. Care should be taken to ensure that all wood screws, coach bolts, or other fastenings are also Sherardized.
The condition of the book is generally ok. The black cover boards have some minor scuffs and blemishes, wear along the edges and corners, and the outside spine covering is split along three quarters of the length, but the spine itself is intact and all pages are intact, unblemished and bound. There is a name in pen on the inside front cover.
