Rose Tools scanned catalog archive added to Articles

Rose Tools put an extraordinary amount of time and effort into scanning a number of catalogs over the years. While the original website hosting this resource has been taken down, Rose Tools has given permission to host them on the Articles page of my website (and elsewhere). Donna Rose Allen still maintains an active website devoted to quality new and old tools.

The scanned catalogs represent a large sampling of tools from approximately 50 different companies, and spans nearly a century of manufacturing. They are an invaluable primary source of information for both common and uncommon tools.

 

A big thanks goes out to Mark Stansbury of FoleyFiler.blogspot.com for doing the heavy work in saving these catalogs, and to Donna Rose for making the scans available.

    Thanks for posting the catalogs. I spent 4 hours going through them already. They remind of the toy catalogs that Sears put out at christmas when I was a kid. I wish had that and two of those, and maybe this would be nice……..

    That sounds like me. It really is fun to look through these and find tools you never even knew about.
