Title: The Chronicle of the Early American Industries Association. Volume II. September, 1937. Number 1.
Description: New York: Early American Industries Association, 1937. 1937. - Quarto [12 inches high by 9 inches wide], printed self-wraps. Pages 1-8. Black-and-white illustrations. The leaves are lightly bumped & there is a horizontal crease to each leaf where the newsletter has been folded. The edges of the first page are slightly darkened with some rubbing & light soiling to its top edge. Very good.

The stated purpose of the Early American Industries Association is "to encourage the study and better understanding of early American industry, in the home, in the shop, on the farm, and on the sea, and especially to discover, identify, classify, preserve and exhibit obsolete tools, implements, utensils, instruments, vehicles, appliances and mechanical devices used by American craftsmen, farmers, housewives, mariners, professional men and other workers". Among the contents of this issue of the association's newsletter are articles on the box or parlor stove from 1750-1840, on a maker of weather vanes, and on the collection of buttons at the Essex Institute, Salem, Mass. Very good .
