I am researching Edward Preston & Sons Ltd. of Birmingham, England. My research is being used to write a book on iron spokeshaves and related tools made by Preston. I am looking for anyone that has any Preston catalogs that they would be willing to share scans, photos, copies,etc. I currently have the following catalog info:
1895 catalog - some photos of the spokeshave pages
1901 catalog reprint by Ken Roberts
1909 catalog reprint by Astragal press
circa 1912 booklet no. 23 original in good condition
1914 catalog no. 26 original missing cover and multiple pages
1932 catalog no. 43 scans of some pages, including all spokeshaves
1933 Rabone catalog with addendum of Preston tools after Rabone acquired Preston
Thanks in advance...
Joe
