Spring Tooth Harrows (cover title)


York, PA: Hench & Dromgold, (ca. 1890).

Pictorial heavy card wraps, approx. 5 x 2 inches. (24) blank pages with advertising copy in the form of rhyming couplets set in quatrains at the top of 10 pages. Near Fine with minor soil to covers. Hench & Dromgold patented their Spring Tooth Harrows in 1889. Also advertises their Cultivators and solicits sales agents. Not in OCLC. Fine farm machinery verse:

"Six pieces of steel bent in zigzag shape,
Form a harrow frame no conditions can break.
Running diagonally from front to rear,
Increasing its strength till there's nothing to fear.

No other frame is braced half as strong,
And no harrow draws lighter over the ground,
Aggressive, progressive, sturdy and neat,
It downs every harrow on earth that it meets."
