CHARLES H. SMITH'S ILLUSTRATED CATALOG OF WOOD-WORKING MACHINERY, 135 North Third Street, Philadelphia, PA. 1870. A catalog of heavy wood working machinery, both wood frame and cast iron. Includes machinery of their own manufacture as well as R. Ball and Woodrough patent designs. It's unusual to find a paper covered catalog of this period with the cover intact.
This is a hefty 9.8 mb PDF.

LUTHER'S TOOL GRINDERS. LUTHER GRINDER MFG. CO., MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, U.S.A. c1920. Featuring one of the best catalog covers ever, this small catalog is a perfect example of one company's use of paper advertising to tell the world that they had moved into the modern machine age. Great Arte Deco design. Take a close look and you can see the sparks flying from the grinding wheel. Quite a cover for something so mundane as a grinder.
