by Don Rosebrook"Even if you have to sell a level to buy this book, you won't be disappointed." The Tool Shed Pages: 297 Binding: TC Publisher: Astragal Press Here is the long-awaited book on levels, from the leading expert on one of tool collecting's most important and fastest growing areas. The author's meticulous research covers over 80 companies and individuals that made and/or sold levels in New England, starting with the earliest known level maker in 1743 and proceeding through the mid-twentieth century. For each maker, Dr. Rosebrook provides historical background and a full discussion of the maker's product lines, accompanied by hundreds of photographs of sample levels (many in color) and, where possible, an indication of the level's rarity. Also included are:
The levels photographed for this volume come from collections all over the United States, and include several interesting and beautiful craftsman-made pieces. The only book of its kind, American Levels and Their Makers fills a large void in the world of tool identification and is an absolute must for the tool collector, the student of industrial technology, or anyone with even a passing interest in such infinitely fascinating and beautiful tools. 297 pages. 81/2" x 11". Approximately 600 illustrations; 84 in color. Hard cover. | |
