About This Item
Marblehead, MA: Historical Technology Press, 1987. Cloth. Near Fine. Three volumes. 11 x 9 inches. Publisher's red buckram with silver spine lettering. Various paginations. Production values vary considerably but reflect the catalogs as they were issued.
Volume I includes catalogs 101-110 from 1970-1975 plus a volume title page dated 1978.
Volume II includes catalogs 111-120 from 1975 to 1980 plus a volume title page dated 1981.
Volume III includes catalogs 121-130 from 1980-1987 plus a volume title page dated 1987. Cloth. Historical Technology catalogues were well written and researched and typically include books, scientific instruments, maps, and the occasional painting or other oddity. Saul was a well respected scientific instrument dealer known by many in the collecting community. Periodically he would publish a set of catalogs bound (as here) from remaining catalog stock, always in these sturdy red bindings. We've seen maybe a dozen sets in the last 20 years for sale. He listed these volumes under "IMPORTANT REERENCE BOOKS" at a not insignificant prices.
In addition to annotated writeups, most scientific instrument entries include the shipping weight a tidbit not often found in catalogs.
