1892 Lenk Wine Co. Toledo Ohio Wine Barrel Shaped Booklet.

DISCUSSION:

Toledo, around 1892. An attractive and clever promotional booklet shaped like one of the wine casks of which the company was so proud. The text describes the winery and is illustrated with cuts of the factory and interior and a few photographs of the surrounding countryside.

Lenk Wine Company, “growers and wholesale dealers in native wines”, was founded in 1867 and incorporated in 1872; they farmed 28 acres of “fine, rolling land, splendidly adapted to the cultivation of the vine. The grounds are handsomely laid out and present a beautiful appearance of shaded avenues and walks with verdant, well-kept lawns, embellished with shrubbery and flower gardens, and dotted here and there with rustic arbors and summer houses of unique design”. But wait, that’s not all- “the main buildings are supplied with basements or cellars, where the wine is stored in huge casks varying in capacity from 1,000 gallons to 36,000 gallons each, the total capacity being the enormous amount of 850,000 gallons, While upon this subject, it will prove of interest to state that the company’s cask having a capacity of 36,000 gallons, is the largest one of the kind in the world in use… This cask measures 21 feet in length, and is twenty feet in diameter. Its top is reached by a flight of steps, twenty-nine in number, where there is a platform for visitor”.

The wineries leading wines were Dry Catawba, Sweet Catawba, Iona, Norton’s Virginia Seedling, Ives’ Seedling, claret, and port. The 28 acres, with all those lawns, arbors and shrubberies came nowhere near to producing enough grapes to fill the enormous vats, and the company purchased grapes from the lake Erie islands “and other vineyards”. Lenk wines won a medal at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.

OVERSEAS BUYERS PLEASE NOTE:  Our International shipping charges are based on the weight, when boxed for shipping, of each book -please check the postage chart for the cost of shipping to your country. We offer “combined shipping charges” for orders for more than one book –this often means the shipping cost for the books is less than it would have been if they had been purchased and shipped one at a time, so please ask us for a shipping quote if you are thinking about buying more than one book. Thanks!

INSURANCE??? As a seller we take responsibility for properly packing and delivering your purchase safely to you. You do not have to spend extra for insurance to guarantee that.

RETURNS: We want you to be completely satisfied- anything is returnable for any reason at all within 14 days of receipt; we do ask that you notify us that you are returning it.

OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE:

-We always welcome orders from customers outside the United States. The “Free Shipping” marker found on many of our books only applies to shipping within the United States –we wish we could afford to offer free overseas shipping, but we cannot. Please use the “Shipping & Payments” tab (above) to check the cost of shipping. We charge actual shipping based on weight, so sometimes large, heavy, inexpensive books can actually cost more to ship than the book itself costs –I know that seems odd, but the shipping cost is based on the actual weight of the book, not its selling price. If you have any questions, please use the "Ask Us a Question" button before you buy the book.

-Import duties, taxes and related import charges added by your country are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges, which we never impose. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as ‘gifts’ to avoid import duties, as this is illegal in most countries.
