[Rarebooks] FS: 1868 "Patent Fighting Roosters" Mechanical Toy Brochure

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

1868 "Patent Fighting Roosters" Victorian Cock-Fighting Mechanical Toy  
Promotional Brochure.

New York; C.K. Sherwood & Co.: 1868.

"We would respectfully call your attention to our New Patent toy,  
called The Fighting roosters, of which we are the sole owners and  
manufacturers. The Patent was only obtained in April, and we are now  
enabled to offer the public a toy which amuses both old and young. We  
have submitted same for inspection to the largest Importers and  
Dealers in Toys in this and other cities, who without exception,  
pronounce it the best toy ever placed in the market, and in every way  
far superior to those toys which have enjoyed such popularity in this  
country during the last few years. It being also, in a measure, a game  
of chance, will tend to keep this toy in favor, and render it more  
interesting, where others would soon cease to be attractive or furnish  
amusement, and be thrown aside. These toys are made in the best  
possible manner, no expense having been spared in making them both  
durable and elegant; are placed in handsome boxes, and with any  
ordinary care will last for years. These Toys can be obtained of all  
the Toy dealers".

Folder. 3"x5". Illustrations on the front and back cover. Light wear,  
minor soil, several very slight tears with small loss.  [39938]  $75
