This is a beautifully
crafted reproduction of a pattern book probably issued by W. & C.
Wynn of Birmingham about 1820. It contains 83 plates of tools, including
9 fold out plates, all at full size. The plates depict hundreds
of tools, household goods including tools for the kitchen, corkscrews,
garden tools, watch and clock tools, coopers' tools, shoemakers'
tools, gun tools and personal accessories like key rings and fingernail
clippers. The illustrated introduction is by Jane Rees. As a bonus,
each book has a back pocket containing a reprint of an 1810 W. &
C. Wynn price list that closely matches the pattern book. This publication
is the first of its kind that has been reprinted at full size and
is a unique resource for those interested in tools and household
goods. It is also the first publication supported by the Mark Rees
Publication Fund.
