    Default Chubb Collecteana - two for sale

    Published a while ago now these are a collection of Advertisements articles tied together with a history of the Chubb family and company.

    Both showing their age a little but not in bad condition. One has the wire binding rusted through in one area. Offers separately please - if they are high enough I might sell!

    Ignore the odd colour - it was photographed in low light.

    Hello Russell

    You are clearly not familiar with the book. I think it was produced by Chubb on their 150 year anniversary. There are 56 main pages but theses are interleaved with facsimile contemporary adverts and articles which are printed on coloured paper and smaller than the main pages. All the pages are on thick paper - almost card.

    There is mention of the lock controversy and Hobbs and a good grounding on the history of Chubb.

    As regards price - I am looking for what I can get! I don't think there is a going rate for the book but it will have to be enough to motivate my trip to the post office to post it! I'm pretty lazy I need to point out!

    Go on - motivate me!
