New York 1938 ed wraps 9″ x 11 ½” 287pp. This extensive catalog is accompanied by the original pictorial mailing envelope (edge worn) and a 1939 correction list. Illustrated throughout. The Bannerman Company dated from the Civil War. They were the first merchants to recognize the value of surplus military goods and became the premier private arms dealer in the world. They bought 90% of the surplus from the Spanish American war and after they were told not to store the 90 tons of explosives in New York , they bought Bannerman Island on the Hudson River . The company prospered until the 1970s. Catalogues of their goods were routinely issued for almost 100 years although the quality of the printing deteriorated over the years as the staff aged and pages were reproduced. Extensively illustrated catalogue includes thousands of piostols, rifles, cannon, cartridges, uniforms, medals, swords, naval lamps, battle lanterns, life rings, binnacles and much more. Some past issues included Lyle guns, Life-Saving Service annual reports for $1 each, lighthouse items and more. Superb reading and a great reference. Pictorial paper covers and contents in good condition, age toning but clean and tight. (VG-). $128.
