About This Item
Chicago: Frederick J. Drake & Co., Publishers, 1904. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Dark green cloth with black lettering and pictorial stamping. 202pp, (4pp ads). Frontispiece, numerous illustrations and line drawings. Very good. Faint binding edgewear and bit of rubbing; inner hinges bear old but neat, discrete and archival cloth tape, thus tight; ownership name/address inked on rear flyleaf. A handsome, tight first edition of this soup to nuts on blacksmithing whose sub-subtitle elaborates: "With Rules, Tables, Recipes, Etc., Useful to Manufacturers, Blacksmiths, Machinists, Well-Drillers, Engineers, Liverymen, Horse-Shoers, Farmers, Wagon-Makers, Mechanics, Amateurs and All Others Who Have Occasion to Perform the Work for Which This Book Is Primarily Intended." Rather scarce in first edition.
