I'm sure most everyone here has seen it at some time. I was looking for some info on some old tools and have spent the last hour or two looking at it and figured maybe someone else would enjoy it:

Watch for the "wood handled bung tickler".

I have a catalog from the 40s, from Bostwick Braun. Of the more than 1400 pages (and hard bound at that) over half are for tools. This was THE bookfor hardware stores in my area. Anything one would want, or need, could be ordered from this book. In the front pages, there is even a UPS freight rate schedule. Prices? WOW!:eek:
