Stanley Tools Catalogue No 34

Stanley Tools Catalogue No. 34

This 1914 catalog shows nearly every tool needed in a hand-tool shop, from the chisels to the butt gauges to every sort of plane in the company's line. The catalog's text explains what each one is used for and how it functions differently from other similar tools. The catalog also has fantastic exploded views of many of the complex tools, such as the company's miter boxes, the multi-planes and handplanes.

If you are just getting into hand tools, we think you will find this catalog a delight to read, hold and learn from. The information in it is factual and straightforward - not the puffery you get from many modern catalogs. And if you collect or appreciate vintage hand tools, we think you will love this catalog, which reproduces the vintage drawings with remarkable clarity.

This 144-page catalog looks and feels like the 1914 original. The binding is sewn and glued for extra durability. Acid-free paper is used to prevent the pages from yellowing over time. The special scanning and re-imaging of the drawings gives them a renewed crispness.
