Ornamental Hardware (192 pp., lacking roughly 32 pages). The latest is Suggestions for Beautiful Window Draping (28 pages, dated 1930).

Other catalogues offer anvil, curtain rods, brass beds, metal novelties, brass cornices, brass and onyx tables, stationery hardware and match safes, art metal goods, vacuum cleaners and metal furniture.
