I had not been there is a while but tonight I went to the Craftsman catalogs no longer online at Rose Antique Tools.

This used to be the link (no longer working):
http://www.roseantiquetools.com/id116.html

Here is a archive link to what it used to look like:

Am I missing where it is on their web site? I cannot seem to find any links to it. Sadly, I should have donated some money to help them keep it hosted online.

Does anyone else know where there are old Craftsman catalogs online?

Thanks

TS: i just checked my link and you are correct that their catalogs are no longer available. i know a few of the members have downloaded them to their computers. i'll see if i can PM a few that might have them and see if i can get some to pass on to you.

Drivesitfar: I was looking for more info on a 70's vintage craftsman industrial hand drill I recently picked up. Based on Givl's posting, I realized that archive.org had all the catalogs available for download so I just downloaded them.

Givl: Thanks for the recommendation - archive.org had all the catalogs available. Too bad they only went to the early 1970's. But I found a 1985 Craftsman catalog at a garage sale last weekend so I have at least one newer catalog.

Her husband died some time back and that is when the web-site started to slowly go downhill; the husband did all the work so it figures things would come to a standstill.

In it's prime that web-site was fantastic , I could look at a ton of pictures and the wealth of knowledge was just unbelievable, sad to see it go.:sad:
