DESCRIPTION
Original 1963 Pygmy Book, “Fix Your Own Electrical Appliances.” Published by Ottenheimer, Baltimore, MD. Compact 3.125" x 4", 32 pages plus covers, with cute midcentury illustrations. Offers retro step-by-step advice on repairing vintage irons, fans, lamps, plugs, cords, and more—back when fixing things yourself was encouraged (sometimes with questionable safety!). Charming “how-to” guide straight from the era of avocado kitchens and bakelite plugs.
Condition:
Clean, solid copy with beautiful bright cover colors. Pages evenly tanned but fully legible. Light edge wear, more apparent on the blue back cover. Corners blunt, slight abrasion bottom back edge. Classic graphics! Priced to sell.
Why buy:
Fun piece of midcentury Americana, perfect for collectors of vintage instruction booklets, retro DIY, electrical history, or Baltimore ephemera. Also makes a conversation-starting gift for electricians, hobbyists, or fans of quirky pop culture.
Professional packaging always, since 2003.
