1923 I think. It would be nice to see some of the interior pages.

Checking up on the Walden, I noticed the Stanley -- #34.  (item #  150642903736).  This one has a date of 1920.
Looks really good, and if I weren't broke at the moment, I'd be after it.

 My #34 is dated 1950, and it only has black and white illustrations.

If I'm lucky enough to win it we will all have access to a scan anyway. Keep your fingers crossed.

Wow! I sure don't see that kind of interest in the old cool Walden tools on ebay. Some of the best ones (imo) don't even get bids. I suppose there are catalog/advertising collectors that don't necessarily have any interest in the tools themselves.

I figured it would go high and it will be available to you guys as soon as I buy a new scanner.

I figured it would be higher than my limit (which is a hell of a lot lower than the selling price) so I didn't bother to bid. Did you try cleaning the scanner platen?

BTW thanks again.

I'll have to try cleaning it before I by a new one, thanks.

Well I got the catlog today and its in good shape but kind of disapointing. Not that many tools mostly old cars and the tools needed for them. I'll scan it when I get a new scanner or the old one fixed.
