The scans below are the remaining images from the Joh. Weiss & Sohn 1909 Catalog of 1909. Anyone interested in the first part of the catalog — including the history of the firm — can follow the link given below.

Part Two continues on with the various molding planes and plane irons made and offered by the company, as well as featuring some of the popular metal handplanes, spokeshaves and scrapers manufactured by Stanley Tools in the United States.

Special thanks is given to The Mid-West Tool Collectors Association, The Early American Industries Association and to Seth W. Burchard, who did the initial translation of the catalog, from German to English, in 1980, and Howard Steele, who owned the original catalog.

This catalog, being of some 40 or so pages featuring hand planes alone, has been broken up into two main parts so that each part can load faster than one full page of 40 images. To see part one, click here.
