Description
Petersburg, Virginia: G.F. Marks, 1868. Very good. Some offsetting, letter folds.. Printed circular addressed "to manufacturers of tobacco", advertising new patented machinery used for pressing tobacco. G.F. Marks (fl.1850s) was a carpenter from Petersburg, Virginia, who developed his new "Ironback Mills for Tobacco" with local mill makers in order to capitalize on the booming tobacco and plantation industry in the upper South (i.e. Virginia). He filed his patent in 1868, just after the Civil War, when labor-saving and economic machinery would have been sorely needed by struggling business owners in the South. Printed on blue paper measuring approx. 9.5" by 5.75
