Title: Catalog Hoard
Post by: Twertsy on July 19, 2016, 10:25:56 AM

Folks,
I have a TON of machinery, tooling and merchandise catalogs (8 boxes) that I still need to go through.  If anyone is in need of machinist - type info from about the 40's to the 90s let me know and I'll see what I got.  Someone may want to post this on a machinist forum too.  I'll be happy to scan stuff as requested.  Again, these deal with machinist type work.  There are hundreds of tooling brochures and cats, price lists, etc.  Brochures and catalogs on lathes, presses, monster grinders, etc.  For the most part they are in alphabetical order so I should be able to find what you're looking for if I have it.

Send requests to twertsy@gmail.com.  Feel free to refer Practical Machinist (or other) members to my email as well, happy to oblige.

Anything on Superior drill presses or Queen City pedestal grinders or even Max disc sanders?

Hello, Twertsy. I would be interested in seeing the Rockwell Tools catalog. Chances are they were still in business here in Syracuse back then. Thanks, Lou

Sure thing Lou.  I'll see what I can do about getting those scanned early this week.
