Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co.: Piano, Organ & Violin Tools, by Hammacher, Schlemmer & Company. 88 Pages. Softbound.

For an interesting historical overview and some spectacular photographs of these tools, see Chapter 14 of Patented Transitional & Metallic Planes in America, Volume II, by Roger K. Smith. An excellent catalogue featuring many tools not illustrated anywhere else. This book is no longer available. UNAVAILABLE (BK-0012) |
