Church, Factory and Steamboat Bells by George H. Holbrook

East Medway, Massachusetts: George H. Holbrook, 1880. Very good. Minor staining, modern tape repair to a couple short tears. Letter folds.. Advertising circular for cast metal bells for churches, factories, and steamboats. manufactured by George H. Holbrook in East Medway, Massachusetts. An interesting and obscure niche in material culture and history, but important items that were essential to keeping time and something average people encountered multiple times a day. Part of the landscape and "soundscape" of the nation at this time. Includes a long pitch below an image of four of the bells produced by the manufacturer. Measures approx. 10" by 7.75". Short ink manuscript note on verso.
