A little footnote: many years ago I purchased one of these guides from 1869, and affixed to the inside front cover was an incredible Peck & Snyder color sporting goods poster. If you go to the thread on advertising pieces, which is on page one of the memorabilia section, it's pictured on post #68. You can put it on this thread if you like, as it is a collateral piece and worth seeing again ( I don't know how to post it, of course).
