Catalogue Gallery

Terry has a large collection of early watchmaker’s and clockmaker’s tools and workshop equipment. To assist in the never ending task of identifying these beautifully made objects, early trade Directories and Catalogues are immensely useful.

Terry has posted here some of the more interesting illustrations from his Robert Pringle and Sons, London 1910 Catalogue. Please click here for a list of all Trade Catalogues that I hold.

If you are wishing to have a tool identified, please email me a picture and any relevant details, and I will attempt to assist.
