In this volume we cover the smaller companies, the agents and the retailers that were such an important part of the cunpowder trade. Oriental and hercules are, or were, major firms but most of this book is devoted to the manes that are all but unknown, except to a few advanced collectors. Again the majority of examples shown are from the Bacyk collection but another major source has been fourn in the Hagley Museum and Library. Hardcover, 312 Pages ISBN 9780967632407
