This is a an exceptional original broadside advertisement for Volcanic repeating firearms manufactured by New Haven Arms Company, which is dated 1 May 1859. One side of the advertisement outlines that New Haven recently acquired the rights to produce Volcanic firearms as well as their rapid repeating fire ability, waterproof ammunition, and safety from accidental discharge, as well as the prices for different models. The opposite side shows a diagram of a Volcanic pistol with directions for use and keeping in order. Both sides are marked at the bottom stating that they are sold by Joseph Merwin in New York at 267 Broadway.

Very fine, the text and imagery remaining crisp and clear. There is a horizontal fold crease in the middle of the page and a few minor tears at the edges along with some age darkening. An extremely rare piece of Volcanic advertising to enhance the display of your collection!
