An old Carson, Pirie, Scott Catalog

Of the thousands of items pictured in this catalog from the wholesale house of Carson, Pirie, Scott in Chicago, this tiny one-man-band caught my eye.  LOL...you'd have to have a small nose to play it, I think.

Quite a few of the harmonicas were from Germany, and I saw the words "Getsetzlich geschutzt" on many of them.  Ha--it wasn't the company name, it translates to "protected by law"...☺

Here's the pdf file of the whole catalog from 1893-94. (Click "read online").
 You'll love it!
