Oblong format, 24 cm. 80 pp. b/w plates throughout.
Price: $500
Rare catalog of canoes rowboats, sails, hardware, and other appurtenances. This is an original copy, not a knockoff and, except for a few calculations at the top of page 59 (someone trying to figure the cost of a Bailey rig, single halyard) the catalog is in near-fine condition. It appears to be undated, except at the top of the introductory page, where all discounts prior to 1903 are withdrawn, and the “Greeting” page, dated 1903. Worldcat shows no libraries holding copies of this 1903 edition, and only single copies of catalogs issued in 1902, 1905, and 1906. Romaine cites Rushton catalogs from the 1880s and 90s available only at the Adirondac Museum. Nothing but reprints available online.
