About This Item
71-79 Otsego Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., [ca 1912]. 18 mo (16 cm) brochure, printed black wrappers with cutout revealing image of a knight with red and gilt highlights on first page. 7 leaves including 1 color illus., 6 pp. text, 4 full-page reproduced photos, 2 pp. of mounted paint chips, (24 in all) 1 chromolithograph; green borders surround text and illus. A paint specimen brochure for Keystona flat wall finish, a combination of paint and varnish, that "unlike white lead and wall paper, has a permanent sanitary influence when and where applied." The fighting image of the knight, with blood on his sword and shoulders, three swords pressed against his chest, not able to penetrate, is entitled: "Only one coat necessary." Images from the N. Y. C. New Hoffman House dining room, Berger Manufacturing Co. offices, Toledo Ohio YMCA swimming pool, and Philadelphia Bethany Church interior wall testify to the success of the Keystona product. The full-page color lithograph in brown, green and red with gilt highlights and border on last page is a facsimile of the label on the Keystona can. CONDITION: Fine and fresh with little wear.
