1900 Bicycle Accessories Catalogue
Rice Lewis & Son put the fishing reels, lures, baseball mitts,
ammunition, and revolvers in the very back: http://www.openlibrary.org/details/b...cess00riceuoft The rest is bicycle stuff, such as two versions of the Ramsey swinging pedal for $4.50 on page 36. Or the Bullis Ball gear shaft-drive assembly, better than bevel, on page 33. Or the pocket pump that looks like a Topeak Road Morph on page 44. Cheers, Carl Fogel |

My current day Toronto LBS is charging 50 times more. To be fair, I think this century's version has a bit more leather. |

Dear Brian, Brooks fans can use the search function to find the page--direct links involve an odd zip file process. The wretched interface is "inspired by a British kiosk." Clicking on often-invisible tabs along either edge of the "pages" can jump around the pamphlet. Search for "nickel" and lots of yellow tabs will appear to show where the often hidden page tabs are. I expect that inflation accounts for much of the price increase. The Canadian dollar has done better than the British pound since 1900, or so the grpah on page 4 of this PDF claims: http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/dollar_book/appendixa.pdf Some of the price rise could also be due a lack of any improvement in automation in making leather saddles in the last century.
