Scope and Content

Catalog: Leroy Lettering Equipment. Keuffel & Esser Co., New York & Hoboken, copyright 1960. Booklet, 5-3/4" wide x 8-3/4" high (note: top & bottom trim is skewed); 40 pp. including covers. PDF on file. K&E had their main offices and factory in Hoboken in this period. New York was a showroom / retail operation. The catalogue carries copyright dates from 1944 to 1960. This product line was a major part of the drafting and engineering materials they offered and thus a separately issued catalogue was useful. They had been issuing such Leroy sales material since the 1930s. As typical, it is not priced and if any separate price list was sent with it, it is not present here. This publication has the stock numbers used prior to 1962. In that year the company began use of a completely new stock numbering system. Period of issue would have been from 1960 to 1962. Pages [38-39] are blanks for notes, page [40] is back cover.
