Exhibit 12 'Unexcelled' Fireworks Company Brochure 1887


This delightful example, featuring the product range offered by an American Fireworks Company is over 100 years old. It features a huge range of fireworks and novelty products, including amazing 'Fireworks balloons'. One of the company's products - the Bogardus shells and cartridges, were even endorsed by Buffalo Bill himself. These amusing devices were manufactured to be fired from shot-guns and were, in effect, miniature shells. And naturally everyone held Roman candles in those days... They really don't make 'em like they used to!
