Detailed Hammock Design Trade Catalogue

(TRADE CATALOGUE)  GEM HAMMOCK & FLY NET CO.  HAMMOCKS.

Milwaukee: 1916. Oblong 4to. Publisher's wrappers. 65 printed pages, including 48 chromolithographic plates. First edition.

An exquisite trade catalogue for hammocks featuring forty-seven examples of hammocks, each with ornate and finely designed covers shown as is and with two inserted variant combinations of colors.  Of interest are price lists for 1916 and 1917 which are laid-in.  At a glance, prices seem to have risen between twenty and thirty percent, and this was before the Carter Presidency.  Some chipping and soiling to the covers but internally very good.  Scarce.
