They gave the catalogue away for free, btw. I see a copy for sale at $300.
How much inflation is that?
It has a warning that if you tore pages out of it, they wouldn’t send you another.
It wasn’t an annual catalogue, but they honored those prices until the next edition.
And I’ve seen the chest empty for about $4000 now.
I don’t think you could get the set for $2500. The chisels are Buck Bros, the saws by Disston, etc.
