These images are from an eBay auction by seller woodside1 that closed back in 2013.
They don't shed any light on the Inverto tools themselves, as only "Special" series staking tools are shown. But it is still of interest as these are the only images I've seen of K&D's Catalog of Watchmakers’ Tools No. 7. Given that the closing price on this auction was $175 (!) it appears that the catalog is quite rare. There are copies of this catalog in places like the Harvard University Library and the library of the New Hampshire Historical Society. I can’t say it’s likely I’ll ever see either one of them... The catalog record in the NHHS library states: Title: Catalog of watchmakers' tools manufactured by Kendrick & Davis Co. Publisher: Lebanon, N.H. : Kendrick & Davis Co., [n.d.]. Collation: 83 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Subject: Kendrick & Davis Co. (Lebanon, N.H.) Genre: Manufacturers' catalogs. Subject: Clocks and watches -- Tools. Subject: Industries -- Lebanon (N.H.) Location: LIBRARY Call number: 681.114 K33 The “n.d.” (no date) is interesting. No publication date is shown in these images, but only a few pages are shown. The WorldCat.org entry for this catalog states: Author: Kendrick and Davis Co. Publisher: Lebanon, N.H. : Kendrick & Davis Co., [not before 1909] Genre/Form: Trade catalogs Catalogs Document Type: Book All Authors / Contributors: Kendrick and Davis Co. OCLC Number: 55232817 Notes:"No. 7"--Cover. Printer's statement on p. [84]: P.H. Gobie Press, Inc., printers-binders, Bellows Falls, Vt. Date from text. Includes index.

The note [not before 1909] is likely based on the “Incorporated 1909” in the title page header. We know the catalog must have been published in 1909 or later from this notation, but nothing in these images gives further clues to the actual publication date.
