1896 Knittel Store Display & Showcase Catalog

An extremely informative 58-page c 1896 catalog from the Knittel Show Case Co. in Quincy, Illinois. This catalog includes includes extensive descriptions, intricately detailed illustrations, and prices for each item. There are also a number of drawings showing the setup for entire stores .

This extensive catalog has store fixtures and furniture for many types of retail uses, including jewelry, cigar, and general stores. A wonderful resource for designers, collectors, and historians.

We have digitally reproduced the original catalog at an extremely high resolution, and printed the pages on a heavy soft-gloss stock. This is not a photocopy - our methods allow us to retain an unusual image clarity and depth of detail. Colors have been carefully calibrated so that the tints of images in our catalog match those in the original. Some of our fine reproduction catalogs are already in museum research collections.

This reproduction catalog is intended as a permanent reference work. It is printed on the same heavy soft-gloss paper as the original. The true spiral binding, unlike a comb binding, allows this book to remain unharmed when left open at the desired place. Heavyweight clear vinyl covers protect the front and back. A charming and informative vintage catalog, and a wonderful and unusual gift for yourself or someone special.

We will soon be releasing other catalogs from our collection of turn-of-the-century and later store fixture and furnishings catalogs.
