Last month, I posted an auction that lots of trade cards, pamphlets, etc., from the 1800s, and one of them was a pamphlet for Conklin Bros in Hackensack, titled "Modeled to Fit".

Here it is again - this time being sold in its own auction as a 16-page catalog of women's corsets!


Seller's description:

Up for auction is this wonderful vintage 1894 catalog advertising Dr. Warner's Coraline Corsets for sale by Conklin Bros. Co., Hackensack, NJ. It measures 4 by 3 inches and is 16 unnumbered pages long. The 2nd page in on the front and back is upside down - guess that makes it unique! It pictures all the different styles available for every woman's figure, as well as the garters to go with them. Many of the illustrations are in color - this is a great little booklet! Condition is very good as shown with no creasing or wear; there is some rust at the staple.

And if I am correct there is / was a plaque in the sidewalk there showing that there was a stagecoach stop at that location.
