8vo, 43 pp. In original grey printed wraps. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper, in discoloured wraps. Title taken from front wrap. Title-page reads, in abridged form: 'By order of Messrs. W. & T. Avery, Limited, who have recently acquired the Freehold. | Soho Foundry, Smethwick, Birmingham. To Engineers, Boiler Makers and Others. | A Catalogue of the Surplus Engineers' & Boiler Makers' Tools, including Thirty-one Lathes, [...] Milling & Screwing Machines, [...] 5-ton Steam Hammer, By Thwaites & Carbutt, [...] 3 Overhead Travellers, Goliath Traveller [...] A three-cylinder vertical Blowing Engine, [...] Nine Wharf, Foundry, and Post Cranes, [...] Which will be Sold by Auction [...] In Lots on the Premises, On Wednesday, May 20th, 1896, At Eleven o'clock precisely.' Not illustrated, but with the lots efficiently and effectively described. The inside of the front wrap carries a 'Notice to Purchasers' giving the days of the week on which the firm advertise their 'Sales of Machinery and Manufacturing Properties' in The Times, Daily Telegraph, Standard, Daily News, Daily Chronicle and Engineers. Scarce: no other copy is known to exist, and COPAC only lists four other catalogues by the auctioneers Fuller & Horsey.
