11 x 9 inches, 29 x 21 cms, 200 pages, profusely illustrated throughout with what are now sought-after small antiques and collectable items from the 1930s, some pages in colour. The main body of the catalogue is undated although there is a tipped-in Mappin and Webb slip dated October 1931 referring to possible future price changes in this same catalogue.
Slightly dusty original cream coloured decorated boards, immaculately clean internally.
Overall, in very nice condition, seldom found in this good state.
An estimated 3,000 separate Mappin and Webb items are illustrated in detail with their original 1930s prices making this a superb reference work for collectors or selling tool for auction houses and antique dealers handling items of quality produced by this world-famous London company during the inter-war years.
