This post contains pages from the English version of the Berg 1939 Catalog.  It include all of the pages on Berg chisels and gouges, their wooden handles, and on hand plane blades.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took me over two years to track down and acquire this catalog. And in the end, it was just dumb luck that I got it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catalog is 21mm (8-5\/16″) wide by 27mm (10-5\/8″) long and contains 122 pages of information, most of which is on specific Berg products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main reason for pursuing this catalog was that it is a Dealer-style catalog with comprehensive information in English on Berg’s very extensive product line in 1939. It is divided into four sections that include Carpenter’s Tools, Pliers, Shoemaker’s Tools, and Various Tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catalog contains descriptive information on most items. This has helped me a lot with my research since it provides specific information on what distinguishes similar Berg items from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
