    Description

    Alpha "Rubber Sundries" Medical Products Catalog, Parker, Stearns & Sutton, 1899.
    Amazing rare catalog of medical products from the  Parker, Stearns & Sutton company advertising syringes, atomizers, tubing, catheters, pillows, etc.
    Gorgeous printed pages, gilt-edges (all 3 sides), with a beautiful reddish ink enhancing some of the product images. One of the product pages showcases the "Son of a Gun" Liquid Pistol, newspaper ads of which are collectible in their own right. This catalog highlights the Liquid Pistol in a 2-page spread (see photo).
    Catalog is in English with what appears to be Spanish translation under the English text on most pages.
    99 pages. Approximately 6-1/2" x 9-1/4".
    It seems this was owned by a University of Pennsylvania student/graduate, as there are clippings (some dated late 1800s - early 1900s) of Univ of Penn football games, events, etc. These were inserted loosely into the catalog, but one clipping of a Dickinson-York college football game is glued onto a page - see photo. All newspaper clippings will be included with the catalog.
    You will be hard pressed to find this catalog in any condition anywhere.
