About This Item
No place [Newark, New Jersey]: no publisher [Phoenix Manufacturing Company], no date ca. 1880's. Original broadsheet circular measuring 13.75 inches by 9 inches printed on light paper, with three illustrations from woodcuts. Not found in OCLC Worldcat as of 8/8/2022.
Folded once horizontally, couple of shallow, soft creases at corners, otherwise Near Fine & clearly uncirculated.
The illustrated recto provides the seven safety features of the burner, the verso provides testimonials & rather gruesome reporting of kerosene disasters:
"Mother and Child burned to Death."
"Elmira, Feb. 22. - A four-year old son of J.H. Miller, of this city, tipped a lighted lamp from the table yesterday morning and was burned to death by the explosion and fire which ensued. His mother hastened to his rescue, and battled with the flames until the little one died. She then ran from the house with her garments blazing and fell in the snow. Neighbors extinguished the fire, both on her garments and in the house, and called a doctor, but she died after great suffering in the afternoon. Her clothes were nearly all burned from her body, and the fire had eaten deeply into her flesh."
