Directory of American Toolmakers by Early American Industries Association
This is largest single source of information on North American toolmakers ever compiled
The heart of the directory is its main list which includes over 14,000 maker's names, the geographic location of the maker as well as the work location(s) (when available), the working years of the maker, the tool types are separated into 73 categories, and description of the marks on the tools
With 1176 pages containing over 14,000 entries and over 5,000 supplemental names and towns dating back to as early as 1636, together with cross-references, indexes, and lists of primary and secondary sources, this is an invaluable resource
Tool collectors, museum curators, genealogists, and historians of North American technology will find this publication beneficial
This directory was complied by many members of Early American Industries Association (E.A.I.A.) edited by Robert E. Nelson
This is one of THE classic reference books for tool collectors, and one of the books that I reach for very often in my own library
The best full tool list for tools pre 1900 in America
A must have book for the reference
