Geo. I Roberts Engineer's Supply Catalog Water, Steam, Gas Electric
This is a fabulous 400 page hardbound catalog for all sorts of supplies from the George I Roberts & Brothers company in New York City. It is loaded with all kinds of great illustrations of valves, lubricators, stationary steam engine supplies, early bathroom and plumbing fixtures, early electrical fixtures and hardware, etc.
Size of the pages are 9-1/2" x 6".
Not sure of date as that header page is missing, but I suggest late 19th or early 20th century
Well illustrated
A rare find despite condition issues
