1967 Bonney Tool Catalog

[jsackin]

Well, it's a slow snow day here at Epsteins, so I decided to scan in some of the old tool catalogs we have lying around. The first one is a 1967 Bonney Catalog. Herbrand and Utica are on the way. You can choose to either read them online or download the pdf file. Reading on line is kind of cool because they have it formated like a book. Enjoy.

Jori,

We appreciate your efforts. That takes time to do.

You guys must have a bunch of old catalogs.

Good thing they were not tossed.

I missed a chance to retrieve literature/catalogs from the Western Auto I worked at when I was in high school when they closed in the early 90's. The store had opened in the 40's and had a huge pile of old catalogs. Sadly I could not get there in time and they were tossed.

Ohh, can't wait to view those sacred pages!
Thanks!

Thanks Jori! I love those old catalogs and the history that comes from them. Reminds me of simpler less complicated times. In 1967 the biggest problem I had at 16 years old was overhauling the engine in my 1959 Dodge Coronet so I could get a girlfriend.

I have also started a Wilton Vise History thread here as well,

And then you got a girlfriend and the problems really began!

Many thanks for making the catalogue(s) available, Jori!

Thanks Jori, that's awesome. I particularly like page 19 - the entire metric selection... just illustrates how much things have changed.

So you got any old Indestro books???

Thank you for taking the time to preserve the lost and nearly forgotton knowledge of the ancients that came before us.

Just posted this 1965 Epstein's Catalog. This is back in the day when we used to sell softballs, rifles and pony harnesses.
