Unrecorded and rare. A quite remarkable example given that this oversized 1933 trade catalog was sent folded through the mail to Metropolitan Billiards on Randolph Street in Chicago and then survived to tell the tale.

American trade catalogs whose sole function is selling goods to bartenders and bars are very uncommon. The front wrapper shows a happy bartender making a cocktail, undoubtedly happy to be employable again and able to practice his craft without fear of harassment or imprisonment.
