This undated catalog is likely from the 1930s. It's 128 pages and in very good condition, completely free of damage. It has a full line of tools of all sorts including the company's Steelcraft line of tools. The company seemed to specialize in "discount" tools. $10

176 pages, softcover, excellent condition. This catalog is undated but likely dates to the 1910s. It's one of the few references we have to C.E. Jennings. Jennings was an important maker and hardware dealer in the early 1900s. By that time they had purchased several edge tool makers, sawmakers, and auger bit makers throughout New England. They are far less known than companies like Stanley but they played an important role and their tools are top quality and quite common. It's a hard to find catalog and a highly recommended reference. $28

This full-line Stanley catalog has all of the tools you'd expect to see including the full line of Bailey planes and the newly introduced "Stanley adjustable planes" which weren't Bailey's patent. It's in excellent condition and makes a great reference. $10

Oldham was a major New York sawmaker who seemed to specialize mostly in band, circular, and mill saws, but who also made a full line of handsaws. This catalog also features Oldham's 32 page History of Saw Manufacture and Use. This is a 1976 EAIA reprint, not a common book to find at all. $10
