The Alabastine Company of Grand Rapids, Michigan, specialized in paints and house decorating supplies. It took its name from the many nearby gypsum (alabastine) mines. This interesting catalog contains pictures, prices, and dimensions of about 300 stencils. A wonderful source for information about period decorating. And the stencils can be enlarged and used, too. Also included are 10 other stencils from a different Alabastine catalog.

We have digitally reproduced and restored our original catalog at an extremely high resolution. The pages are printed on a heavy cream paper reminiscent of the original. This is not a photocopy - using our methods, we can retain an unusual image clarity and depth of detail. Its true spiral binding, unlike a comb binding, allow this book to remain unharmed when left open at the desired place. (Useful if you intend to actually enlarge a stencil for use.) Heavy clear vinyl covers protect the front and back, and the cover image is reproduced on an even heavier weight paper than the inside pages. Our fine reproductions are already in some museum research libraries.

This 62-page reproduction catalog is meant to be a permanent reference for the collector or other interested reader. See our eBay Store for other fine reproductions of furniture. lighting, architecture, glassware, china. pottery and other collectibles.
