Washington DC: G Saegmuller, 1901. First Edition. Original publisher's cloth backed printed and illustrated wrappers; stapled as issued.. Good; wrappers are somewhat spotted; corners a bit rumpled; one signature loose.. 8vo, 112 pp. The catalog is illustrated throughout.
The third catalog issued by Saegmuller but most likely the first to contain his most complex surveying and astronomical wares. Previous listings contained the carry-over instruments of Fauth & Co. that Saegmuller acquired after buying out his partners. His long association with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey served him well in business and its support permitted the development of many of the high end instruments illustrated in this list. See Fried, Jour. of the Ant. Telescope Society, 1994. (Inventory #: 21026)
