A scarce price list with engraved images of rubber shoes and boots for men and women. Nine engravings in all including some very nicely detailed large boots. Patent date of 1870 seems to comport with the style of the catalogue but we'd guess it's closer to 1880. Joseph Banigan is listed as the General Agent with E. H. Cutler as Boston wholesaler and W. S. Ballou as New York wholesaler. unknown
