Bratří Ouhrabkové. Ceník kávomlýnků, mlýnků na koření a veškerých součástek [Price List of Coffee Mills, Spice Mills, and All Spare Parts]. Lomnice nad Popelkou (Czechoslovakia): Bratří Ouhrabkové, n.d. (ca. 1930s).

Oblong 4to. Unpaginated (19 leaves). Original printed card wrappers, string-bound as issued. Profusely illustrated throughout with full-page color plates depicting the firm's extensive range of coffee grinders, wall-mounted mills, spice mills, coffee dispensers, replacement grinding mechanisms, burrs, springs, handles, fittings, and decorative porcelain hoppers, each identified by catalogue number. The title page includes detailed sales terms and carries the contemporary dealer's stamp of Jaroslav Maléř, commercial representative in Přerov, repeated on the front wrapper.

A handsome and highly visual trade catalogue from the renowned Czech manufacturer Bratří Ouhrabkové, documenting both complete coffee mills and the wide variety of interchangeable components available to retailers and repairers. Such catalogues are valuable references for collectors of vintage coffee grinders and historians of Central European industrial design.

Condition: Good. Original string binding intact. Two 1 cm tears at the open fore-edge affecting both wrappers and the text block. Minor general handling wear and light creasing to the wrappers; internally clean and bright. A well-preserved copy of a scarce commercial catalogue.
