Supplement to Catalogue Number 5 Kendrick & Davis ca. 1904-08 24 pages laid paper wrappers, staple bound approx. 6.2" x 3.7" (158mm x 93mm) I purchased this catalog (catalogue?) from High Ridge Books in Deerfield, MA. |
This small booklet contains the earliest K&D staking tool information that I have found. It predates the introduction of the Inverto (which likely occurred around 1907-1908).
K&D started making watch keys in 1876 and staking sets in 1894. This supplementary catalog dates from at least 10 years after their start of staking tool production, based on the 1904 patent date in many of the cuts.
Although this supplementary catalog mentions an earlier version of a K&D tools catalog containing staking tools, I've never heard of, let alone seen, a copy of a catalog earlier than this one.
