OK I have tried to avoid this part of collecting but...

I have saved any tool catalogs that have come my way, but I haven't actively chased any.

Now I have enough "part sets" that I need to research what came in them.

Is there a clearinghouse for PDF catalogs on line?

Or do I need to start collecting the darn things?

Thanks

Skip, take a look at the Tool Archives web site. Todd has posted quite a few that you can download.
Toolemera press has some, and Blackburn tools is hosting the catalogs that were on the old Rose Antique tools site.

This should keep you out of trouble for a day or two
