Well, I just can't believe that there isn't somebody on this forum that's a 130 or so years old that would remember what was available back then

Anybody got an old catalog? From the one remaining photo we can tell that it does have sail slides, but we can't make out the lay of the wire rigging. Was 7x19 & 7x7 in common use back then? Does anybody know where we can find uncoated wire rope?
