[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 587201, member: 33"]The brochure is from Hulbert & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio while the other one online is from Toronto. I found that Hulbert was selling Lamb knitting machines in 1868, according to this post that lists Cincinnati vendors and dealers of a lot of things, taken from a Cincinnati newspaper feature. [URL]https://handeaux.tumblr.com/post/134981187722/here-is-your-1868-cincinnati-shopping-guide[/URL] T. W. Hulbert was one of the patentees of an improvement to the Lamb knitting machines in 1871. The patent application implies that "Lamb knitting machine" is a generic reference to a certain type of item. [URL]https://patents.google.com/patent/US115983[/URL] A city directory from 1874 says that Thomas W. Hulbert was "atty. and agt., Lamb Knitting Machine Co., 538 w. 8th." Just some information that I pieced together. Based on what [USER=1496]@Hollyblue[/USER] posted, I would say that the brochure is not a match with the actual item posted here. So I would say to sell them separately.[/QUOTE]
