The John Pritzlaff Hardware Company Catalog 1915

While I'm idly waiting (perhaps in vain) for CW user nanniejo to create a post with pictures of their VSM (reportedly a Pritzlaff-badged National Eldredge, SN 2740462), here are some pages from a 1915 Pritzlaff catalog.

In 1915, they offered both rotary and vibrating shuttle sewing machines, attachments, supplies such as needles, bobbins, shuttles, sewing machine oil, treadle belts, and cabinets.

The catalog also has a drawing of the Pritzlaff Buildings complex as it looked in 1915.
