Author	Topic: Copy of 1867 Meriden Britannia Catalog
Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 04-02-2003 06:15 PM E-mail received from Art -- quote: I notice in the SMP Forums you may have a copy of the 1867 Catalog of Meriden Britannia Company. I too am interested in this company 1854-1898. Would you please photo-copy the 1867 Catalog . Let me know the copy expense and what you would want for your time and effort. Thank you so much IP: Logged
Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 04-02-2003 06:58 PM Sorry, I don't have the entire catalog, just excerpts of it published in various books. Perhaps another forum participant has the catalog. For the right price, I'd also buy a copy of it. The original would probably run around three to five hundred dollars -- if you could find one.

WGS Posts: 136 Registered: Oct 99	posted 04-05-2003 11:58 AM I have the complete Dover Publications 1982 reprint of the Meriden Britannia Silver-Plate Treasury - The Complete Catalog of 1886-7. This catalog is about an inch thick and amounts to 451 pages. Duplicating the complete catalog would be tedious and due to the binding, the images would be distorted near the inner page margins. Do you have in mind a few specific pages that I could duplicate for you? ------------------ IP: Logged
Stephen Posts: 625 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 04-07-2003 02:56 PM Somehow we've made the leap here from 1867 to 1886-7. Anyway... I sent a note to Dover Publications about their reprint of the Meriden B. 1886-7 catalog. Here's the response -- quote: Thank you for your inquiry, and for your interest in one of our titles. Unfortunately, the book you inquired about, "The Meriden Britannia Silver-Plate Treasury The Complete Catalog of 1886-7" is out of print. At this time, Dover does not have any immediate plans to republish this volume. I have passed along your message to our reprint editor, who does take customer feedback into consideration when selecting which titles will be brought back into print. We do not keep any stock available of our out-of-print titles. If you are unable to obtain a copy from your local library, you may want to try finding a used copy of the book. There are several excellent web sites available on the Internet which connect you to a vast network of used booksellers around the globe. I would recommend that you try [snip] to start your search. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at "diana_grey@doverpublications.com" and I will gladly respond. Let them know if you are interested in a reprint. Used copies (infrequently on the market) are going for about $100. [This message has been edited by Stephen (edited 04-07-2003).] IP: Logged
