Founded before the Civil War, Sargent and Company became one of the largest hardware and hand tool manufacturers in America. This reprint catalog collection contains all the Sargent tools that were listed and illustrated in three of Sargent's majorcatalogs: the 1894, 1910, and 1922. The Sargent line included a full range of woodworking tools, with particular emphasis on wooden and metal planes, hammers, axes and hatchets, saws, levels, and squares. Sargent produced metal planes for over 80 years under at least 21 patents, and this collection contains most of these, including the Auto-Set bench planes, the patented lateral adjustment wood-bottomed planes, the adjustable block planes, and the unique "lady bug" rabbets. The company history provided by Paul Weidenschilling adds significantly to the usefulness of the book. 190 pages. This one is now completely out of print.
