When you log on to International Tool Catalog Library there's a little red "heart" icon right at top center that says DONATE.

You do know that ITCL was recently taken down by some internet goons with a DDoS attack, right? You know the site was down for several weeks, right? Preventing your fellow tool collectors from accessing the treasure trove of information there, right?

So click the little "donate" icon and send 'em a few bucks! Come on.... ante up! $20 bucks! You can do it! :thumbup:

This is an often used reference in the Vintage Tools Discussion forum here on GJ.

THis is actually a different library than the ITCL. The link above has 35k texts, to ITCL @ ~8k. The ITCL is a subset of this collection, and I suspect that certain catalogs might be in multiple locations.

One recent reference to Rimac is still only the two in the ITCL. But interesting, ITCL has 17 Sherman, vs only 16 in the other. So hmm, not sure how that works after all.

Here are two that look interesting from the landing page.

I literally have thousands of catalogs. They range from mechanics tools to vises, to metal working jigs, machinery and tooling. Most range from 1945ish through the ‘70s. If you need a catalogue just ask. I have them alphabetized so they’re easily found. Price is shipping only apart from the mechanics tools cats, which I collect.

Hey all

Thought I'd bump this post again. We all love @Mark Stansbury and his contributions to the ITCL. Please give the Internet Archive a thought today on Giving Tuesday. I just got done donating, and hope you will do the same.
