Hoosick Falls, NY & NY: Walter A. Wood Mowing & Reaping Machine Co., Inc.; [Printed by J. Ottmann Lithographing Co., Jan. 1, 1895]. 4to. 40 pp., printed in sepia & black, numerous text illustrations, woodcut-engraved illustrations & diagrams. Colour chromolithograph softcovers, cover art featuring Wood horse-drawn harvester on back cover (slight shelfwear, very light rubbing, very minor crease to corner), still NF copy, w/ Wood Harvesting Machine dealer Joseph Kammerer of Kammerer PA stamp on lower corner front cover. First edition of this nicely printed, and scarce farm machinery catalogue issued by the storied Hoosick Falls, NY manufacturer, issued just before the 1895 financial panic which forced the ompany into receivership. This work details the award-winning tubular steel mowers, gear mowers, single apron binding harvesters, bundle carriers, transport trucks, binder twines, hay rakes, and more. Wood (1815-1892) founded the company in 1853, and often entered his machines in competitions regularly winning gold medals and prizes for the excellence of his equipment. Jacob Ottmann (d. 1890) was originally a partner in the Mayer, Merkel & Ottman which was one of the largest American lithographic firms, specializing in advertising posters, pamphlets, and reproductions of oil and watercolour paintings. Worldcat locates 3 copies (Wisconsin Hist. Soc., Archives, & Parks, Canada).
