Color: Black; Yellow
A price list from "Gymnastic Apparatus," catalog F15 from the Narragansett Machine Company, 1927. The front cover gives the title of the document and a note that it applies to item 1.1 and two other catalogs, with the effective date May 1, 1927. The company name, headquarters and sales offices are at the bottom and a note above this asks readers to "WRITE FOR DISCOUNT." The columns are, from left, for item number, product name, page from the catalog, price, and weight. Products are divided by type, including horizontal bars; climbing apparatus; horses and bucks; spring boards, jump standards, etc.; rings; ladders; parallel bars; striking bag drums; Swedish apparatus; mats; clubs and bells; wands; miscellaneous equipment; games; and anthropometric apparatus. One item in the latter has its price crossed out in red and replaced at the right margin by a new price. At the top, separated from listings by a horizontal black line, is the company name and headquarters, while at the bottom is a reminder that prices apply to three catalogs and to write for discounts. The last page has the company name and headquarters surmounted by a drawing of the main plant. There are some stains, foxing; creases; edge wear; corner denting; and a line of discoloration at the top of the back, so the object is in fair condition.Lexicon
