One of the best old catalogs of its kind.  110 years old.  This catalogue has "guy stuff" of all sorts, is huge-measures about 6 inches x 7.5 inches and has 1,396 pages! plus an extensive index.  Profusely illustrated. 1906 catalog from the Fairbanks Co.  Hardbound.  Covers are clean and show only slight wear.  There is  a small tear in the cloth on the exterior of the front hinge.  Text block is clean and tight and bright.  Binding is strong.  Page edges are marbled-that's a good thing ;) Fair banks started as a scale company and this catalog has fifty pages of scales.  You could get a scale that could weigh a locomotive to a scale that weighed gold dust.  Tools for many trades.   Country store equipment like Enterprise coffee grinders.  Mining cars, miners lamps, railroad lamps, gauges, lubricating devices, railroad torpedoes, pump cars-even one that has a bicycle like moving system, flares,  steam  engine parts, stationary engines vertical and horizontal, and on and on. Pictures are also considered to be part of the item description.   Please email any questions you may have and I will be happy to answer them.
