About this Item

New oversized softcover in printed wraps. 4to. (8.5 x 0.69 x 11 inches) Clean text free of marks or underlinings. Black and white line drawings (illustrations) organized like an encyclopedia. Includes an index. This Book was the first guide of its kind to be published in Britain. This new and enlarged edition contains: Details on 80 categories of tools including planes, chisels, saws, braces, rules and other tools for measuring and for specific trades. Completely updated price guides based on auction and dealer prices. Collecting tips throughout the book. Advice for the collector on buying, selling and cleaning tools. Toolmakers' names, trademarks and manufacturing centres. Information on materials used in making tools. Patents and registered designs. Hundreds of illustrations, both line drawings and engravings taken from period trade catalogues. Much hitherto unpublished information. Maker and tool indexes. In this handy reference there is something for all, from the fancier of straw plait tools to the collector of English metal planes. Jane and Mark Rees are historians of technology and trades, being the authors of several publications in the field. They are also dealers in the hand tools and artefacts of many trades, most of which are now only a memory. They therefore bring both academic and commercial expertise to the guide.
