This is a fascinating MWTCA catalog reprint from the Feron & Co., a tool maker based in Paris, France from the mid-1800s to the mid 20th century. It is not dated but the research inside indicates it dates to around 1927. What is fascinating is the fact that some of the tools included within would appear at home in a shop from the last 18th century. All of the planes are wooden, as are the clamps, layout tools, etc. There are barely any handsaws. It looks like the pages from Diderot , Roubou, or Mercer, not a catalog from the mid-20th century. Each page has an English translation. It is in excellent condition and will make an interesting reference. $20
