An unusual survival - a folio broadside printed on tissue paper
Ball's patent safety pump, for supplying steam boilers with water
Chicopee, Mass. [1856]. Broadside on extremely thin paper, approx. 14" x 9¾", with a wood-engraved illustration of the pump, a description thereof, and 3 testimonials at the bottom, all dated September, 1856. Some wrinkling and creasing, but in all, and under the circumstances, very good. The broadside is on tissue paper and as such, a remarkable survival. OCLC amazingly finds one at the Henry Ford Museum (although not noting the paper on which it is printed), and no others. Item #57521
Price: $350.00
