Pictured here is part of the electric tool assembly area, housed in the original factory in the village of Millers Falls.

1 folded sheet ; 34 x 31 cm. (unfolded); 8.5 x 16 cm. (folded)

Title from cover. A counter-top promotion, folded four times to create a booklet.

Contains the early illustration of the No. 67 router plane with gray, rather than black, body. A nicely done effort that does an especially good job of treating the company's bench planes, it re-uses the title of the ca. 1950 circular that promoted the company's Buck Rogers planes.

Beneath the cover illustration is a blank space for a hardware dealer's stamp.

Contains illustrations of parts for braces, drills, miter boxes, planes, and spiral ratcheting screwdrivers. Parts for the Buck Rogers planes and No. 104 drill are also included. Although this catalog was found in a binder made up for a distributor in 1963, it lists the location for the regional office in Texas as Forth Worth, rather than Dallas, the location shown in publications as early as 1961. It is interesting to note that at this late date, the company still fitted its braces with eight different jaw/chuck assemblies.
