FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION I AM OFFERING FOR SALE MY 1948 ISSUE OF THE SEARS ROEBUCK & CO. CRAFTSMAN and DUNLAP POWER TOOL and ACCESSORIES CATALOG IN VERY GOOD CONDITION THIS CATALOG WAS THE FIRST CATALOG TO BE OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC AFTER WW2. THE CRAFTSMAN AND DUNLAP LINES WERE COMPLETELY RE-VAMPED TO REFLECT THE NEW TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN THAT THE RETURNING VETERANS WERE LOOKING FOR. THE DO-IT-YOURSELF CRAZE HAD STARTED BY THIS TIME SEARS HAD BECOME A TRUSTED NAME IN POWER TOOLS AND WAS THE LARGEST DEALER OF POWER TOOLS. IT MAINTAINED THAT REPUTATION UNTIL THE MID 1970'S WHEN THE POWERS THAT BE DECIDED THAT SEARS SHOULD START BUYING MOST OF IT'S MACHINERY AND TOOLS FROM OVERSEAS SUPPLIERS THERE ARE NO MISSING, TORN LOOSE OR OTHERWISE DEFACED PAGES. THE COVER HAS SOME LIGHT PENCIL WRITING ON IT SO I'M LISTING THIS CATALOG AS VERY GOOD CONDITION, HOWEVER I BELIEVE MOST COLLECTORS WOULD CONSIDER IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME MINOR WEAR DUE TO AGE AND 65 YEARS OF HANDLING BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. IT WILL SHIPPED IN A HEAVY WEIGHT PLASTIC SHEET PROTECTER IN WHICH IT HAS BEEN STORED IN A LOOSE LEAF BINDER. IT WAS NOT JUST THROWN IN A CLOSET OR DRAWER. IT IS CLEAN DUST FREE AND FROM A SMOKE FREE HOME I AM SELLING MY COLLECTION OF WOODWORKING AND METALWORKING BOOKS, CATALOGS, MANUALS AND TOOLS PLEASE CHECK MY LISTINGS DAILY I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING WHENEVER POSSIBLE I OFFER A MULTIPLE PURCHASE DISCOUNT OF 10% OFF THE COST OF THE LESSER PRICED ITEM WHEN 2 ITEMS ARE PURCHASED AND PAID FOR AT THE SAME TIME.
