Fascinating antique 1898 edition of One Thousand Pointers for Machinists and Engineers by Chas. McShane. 1898 printing, fiftieth thousand, original copyright 1896.
This book has a lot of information on antique locomotives, from early history to practical application for understanding and repairing various parts. It has numerous illustrations throughout. The final section has black and white photos and specifications for various locomotives in use at the time.
Antique estate find, please see photos. The binding is cracked in front of the title page but is otherwise solid. It is not missing any pages and they are not yellow or brittle. Some light water stains as shown. Minor cover wear as expected for age. A really interesting book for anyone interested in trains or engineering!
