This is a very nice example of a pre-war wholesale ironmongers and building supply catalog from a UK company. The color pages in this catalogue include several pages of paint chips, color charts for stone fireplaces, plus illustrations of fireplaces. Includes sections on locks, latches and door hardware, builders' hardware and tools, gutters, chimneys, gratings, pipes and plumbing supplies, furnaces, stoves, fireplaces, paint and painters' supplies, windows, fencing and enclosures, and more. The endpapers are decorated with a line drawing of the company's building in Woking. Uncommon, a quite attractive and comprehensive UK trade piece.
