    Description

    This is Stanley Tools Catalog No. 34A from May 1937, about 5" by 7", about 244 pages. It includes both Stanley and Stanley-Atha tools. It's an original, not a copy. The back cover shows a printing date of 5-1-37. The first 12 pages is an insert featuring "New Stanley Tools" including the introduction of, for example, the No. 90A and 90J rabbet planes. The appendix has 17 pages of repair parts for Stanley tools and 11 pages of reference information and tables. There is a separate insert that is a second index to the catalog, showing where to find the tools recommended "for the school shop."
    It's in fair condition. The cover shows significant edge wear, spots, folds, wrinkling, and one small tear. It obviously got wet some time because the bottom half of all of the interior pages has a faint water stain and they are wrinkled. There is no odor from this, the pages have not become fragile,  and it has no effect on readability so it seems like a minor flaw to me. There are no missing pages, no tears, no odors, no writing that I have found.
    If I receive payment before noon Eastern time, I can usually ship the same business day; otherwise I ship the following business day.
    If you have specific concerns about the condition, please ask before bidding and I'll be happy to help.
    I write my condition descriptions as if I was buying the item myself. It is my policy to be as honest and accurate about condition as possible, so I disclose all flaws that I am aware of. I want to have only satisfied buyers, so I ask in return that if you have any questions or concerns about an item you have bought, you please contact me before opening a case with eBay. Thanks!
