California Casket Company Hardcover Catalogue 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. For sale today is an original hardcover from the California Casket Company. A quick check shows that the listed address in the book – 934 & 936 Mission Street – was likely before the great San Francisco earthquake. After the disaster, the company moved, due to severe damage. Folks, this hardcover book is a peek back in time. The book shows wear, as you can see, but that wear is mostly on the front and back cloth cover. The pages, which are gilded in gold on the outside, are all here – and in good condition. Take a look at the photos. This is an extremely rare volume. It was obtained from the estate of a central California mortician. Keep your eyes open. Will be sent with SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION required. Listing and template services provided by inkFrog.
