Agent's Sample Book of calling cards (visiting, compliments cards) from Stevens Bro's. Northford, Conn.
Flexible cloth hardcover 12mo, 6.75 x 4.25 inches. [48] pages with 72 total specimens, one copyright 1892. Single signature of blank pages saddle-stitched through the cloth spine (recent thread, but as original). Some wear around the edges and occasional closed tears and snags, but solid overall. Salesman's sample cards, some with printed prices and labeled in the book with call numbers. Lacking a few examples with resultant abrasions, but a very substantial collection. 71 calling cards (and one envelope!), in styles ranging from gilt beveled ivory stock to fashionable embossed chromolithograph designs. Specialty offerings for Masons and Templars, mourning occasions, and a rare tortoise gelatine example with natural edges. Something for everyone!
