A spectacular design book which is not often seen.

The Stanley Tool Guide (1941)

Publisher: New Britain, Connecticut, Stanley Tools: 1941

Seller ID: 2402

Binding: soft cover

This is a very nice clean catalog, oversized at 11" x 12-1/4". It came with its very poor original mailing envelope which fell apart while I was trying to save it. The best I could do given the network of tears and creases and the soft disintegrating edges is to salvage the company's address and its label which I did. The panel will arrive with the catalog. I also repaired with non-browning archival tape several short tears to top edge of cover. Included with the catalog is also a Stanley flyer laid-in advertising the chance to customize tool sets. Pages are various sizes as per design, a pla...

Seller ID: 2692

Binding: card cover

Condition: Very good condition

I had one of these the first year I became a seller of books and ephemera, but I never saw another one until now -- eighteen years! It's not that it's rare, it's just that somehow I didn't. Anyway, this is a beautiful, expensively designed booklet which originally in 1946 was published to designate the synagogue as a national historic site. It is also the oldest synagogue building in the United States. There are several large photographs and much information in 65 pages. The booklet measures 9-1/4" x 12-1/2". The only fault is some toning to spine area. Otherwise it's pristine inside and out.

This early Nu-Wood advertising booklet is very clean and nice and quite interesting from the point of view of homeowners and contractors. The company offered more than ceilings and walls. Buyers could get tiles, plank board, wainscot, Kolor-Trim and accessories and moldings. There is a lot of information here, including its use in the building of churches -- which is how I came to have it. I bought this from a company which is still in the business of church renovation inside and out. The boioklet measures 8-1/2" x 10-1/2" and has 30 pages with many photos. not often seen
