Description
Zürich: David Geßner, 1738. 162 x 88 mm. (6 3/8 x 3 1/2"). 272 pp.; 192 pp.; [8] leaves; 64 pp. BEAUTIFUL ENGRAVED STEEL FILIGREE OVER BLACK VELVET, each cover with swirling foliage studded with 37 pointed bosses and four oblique lozenge bosses at corners, smooth spine in a similar design with nine studs (binding with a total of 83 sharp studs), two fore-edge clasps (one broken off). Housed in a brown buckram chamois-lined chemise and matching slipcase. New Testament with extra engraved title page with image of St. John, his eagle, and a lamb, printer's device on printed title, tailpiece at end of text; Psalms with extra engraved title page depicting David with his harp, printed title with small vignette of the same scene; Festivals with engraved title page showing the Last Supper. Nap of velvet mostly gone (except down the middle of the spine), endpapers and the edges of first and last few leaves with numerous small rust(?) spots (apparently caused by the covers' metal frame and studs), otherwise fine inside and out. An excellent example of a very unusual binding. With distinguished provenance, this is a dramatic binding that makes a memorable display, with engraved and pierced steel strapwork forming a lace-like pattern studded with faceted bosses that at first glance appear to be gems. Our volume has a general resemblance to the best of the small silver bindings produced during the Baroque period; its wonderfully executed foliate scrolls are reminiscent of a German binding described and pictured as item #15 in Hayward's "Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection." However, we have been unable to locate another example that strongly resembles ours. While not silver, it is nevertheless a luxury binding--the engraving, with its exquisite detail, was done by a skilled hand, and the materials themselves would have come at a price, since, before the Bessemer process of the 1850s, steel was difficult to produce and consequently expensive. We do not know for whom this remarkable binding was originally made, but we do know that it has more recently resided in two important American collections. Prior to 1955, it was in the library of Saul Cohn, whose collection was sold at Parke-Bernet on April 26 of that year (this was lot #67). Following that, it was part of the illustrious collection of Cincinnati businessman, arborist, and philanthropist Cornelius J. Hauck (1893-1967), whose fortune was made in the family brewery; the auction of his library at Christie's in 2006 totaled more than $12.4 million (this was lot #362, selling for $3,120)..

Description
England: Radiation Patents or Radiation Ltd, 1935. Very Good. We believe that this piggy bank toy or dollhouse oven and burner was a promotional vehicle, probably a gift to buyers and serious prospective buyers of the company's mainstay products. It is possible it sold the toy too, or alternatively. It is today scarce. The Victoria and Albert has one in its collection, from which we get the approximate dating of 1935. This is 21.5 cm tall, when top hood is up, 8 cm wide at widest, 8 cm deep at the deepest. Radiation Ltd. was formed with several mergers in 1919 and continued in business until 1967 when it was acquired. The "Regulo" technology was the engine of the company's growth, and this was premiered in the mid-1920s. As typical of tin toys and boxes of this age, there are some scratches, patches of rush, worn surfaces, perhaps some unwanted bends and dents, although nothing significant in our copy. We would regard the wear as rather minimal to perhaps moderate. We are missing the key to lock and open the bank chamber, which is now open, but will stay closed if one doesn't shake the object.

Description
White Bear Lake, Minnesota: The Ampersand Club, 1997. Oblong 24mo. in wrappers sewn on cord (11 x 13 cm.), [10] pages. Illustrated with wood-engraved title-page vignette by Gaylord Schanilec. FIRST EDITION, limited to approximately 120 copies, this one of 80 copies in gray wrappers, paper label on upper wrapper panel. This little privately printed booklet explains itself in the preface. "The untitled and anonymously-compiled word-list was discovered in a small notebook in the library of M.F.K. Fisher. To the first leaf of the manuscript, in Fisher's hand, was attached the following note: "Definitions (alcoholic) by whom? Why? Found in old binder... The manuscript consisted of 15 pages on graph paper, in pencil, and in a shaky, juvenile hand; but that it was compiled by an adult seems beyond question." "The book was printed by the Ampersand Club at its winter meeting on Super Bowl Sunday in 20 degree below zero weather in the middle of White Bear Lake in an ice-fishing house. The Club believes it is the first time a book has been printed "on the ice" in the western hemisphere" (Rulon-Miller). Fine in wrappers. [OCLC locates ten copies; Rulon-Miller, Quarter to Midnight A.57.b].
