A propos de cet article

72 pages plus covers. Paperback: H 30.25cm x L 22.75cm. Gray paper covers soiled with mild staining, small chip at spine heel, slight curling and/or wear at fore-edge corners. Some foxing and staining to edges. Strong foxing to page 1; moderate foxing to page 72; minimal to occasional light foxing to other interior pages with a few spots of soiling and several scattered patches of peeling where leaves were once adhered and pulled apart. Binding is firm. A good+ copy of a scarce trade catalog. Initial eight pages feature images of the Ames factory and product/component manufacture. "Ames Grade" buggies on pages 9-26 (seventeen models); "Owensboro Grade" models on pages 27-56 (twenty-nine models); "The Niagara Line" models on pages 57-71 (thirteen models plus concluding No. 2 Cart model). One model shown per page with all illustrated in b/w with exception of Model No. 200 (page 58) which is shown with red wheels. Although the publication is undated, the title page states that the company is in its thirty-third year as a builder of pleasure vehicles. As F.A. Ames Company was started in 1891 as the Carriage Woodstock Company, the catalogue was probably issued in 1924. This is further supported by online research which indicates that R.S. Triplett was brought into the firm in 1917 upon his marriage to Frederic A. Ames's daughter. Ames suffered a nervous breakdown in 1922 and died in 1925 so thus, with Triplett being listed as the company's Vice-President and Treasurer, the catalog would most certainly date from the later part of that eight-year period, circa 1922-1925. Also please note that the catalog only features the company's buggy models and does not reference any of their aftermarket bodies for Fords or their car models.…
