Colonial times to 1899

Description from Forward in Book: This Directory, the first extensive listing of early American tool makers, is the result of pioneering effort by members of the Early American Industries Association. The Association undertook the compilation of a comprehensive guide to early commercial tool makers working in North America, with the conviction that it will be an important resource for tool collectors, museum curators, and historians of American technology.

Tool collectors, museum curators, genealogists, and historians of North American technology will find this publication beneficial

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

Its value is that it is a specialized reference work that collectors actually use to identify and research tools and makers.

This is a heavy book.
