Peters Ammunition Catalog

We received a copy of the Peters Ammunition Catolog No. 40 in the mail today from a man named John who lives in Maryland. There was no return address on the package and no last name.  We are thrilled to receive this catalog from John and wish we could thank him, so John, if you see this, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. 

The King Powder Company of Kings Mills and the Peters Cartridge Company are two of our most interesting historical collections.  We have an exhibit and an extensive archive of pictures and documents relating to the company.  It's one of the most popular research topics for local historians, so we were thrilled to receive this copy of a Peters Ammunition catalog. Its full of pictures of the ammunition factory and the people working there. It's also a catolog of bullets and other ammunition. It's spine is too delicate to open flat and scan the photos so we will use our copy stand and digital camera to try to get some copies to share.  Thanks John, who ever you are.
