balance sheet for the society at October, 1965, and 3 pages with some notes on
early European turners and their work. All the material is duplicated on
typical duplicating paper of the period – now somewhat darkened with
occasional foxing. Various types of staples etc have been used with the
inevitable rusting. However the collection as a whole contains much interesting
material, together with a number of original black and white photographs used
as illustrations – since
these appear to have been just loosely inserted they may not be complete. The
binders are typical utilitarian office binders of the period. An interesting
and uncommon archive. Note – price includes the excess necessary for shipping
within the UK, but due to the weight (over 5kg) there will be an additional
charge for shipping overseas. 150.00 pounds sterling
