Noble & Cooley Company : Granville, Massachusetts
A 1919 wholesale trade catalogue issued by the Noble & Cooley Company of Granville, Massachusetts, listing drums, tambourines, banjos and toy instruments for dealers and jobbers. The plates are halftone studio photographs of single drums shot straight on against plain white grounds, showing rope tensioning in zigzags, leather ears, metal tension rods and painted or embossed shell bands — usable as isolated object silhouettes, hardware detail, or repeating diagonal lacing patterns.
