In 1898 Henderson and Company created an illustrated trade catalog advertising tools, fertilizers and gardening equipment: this reprints a very rare volume which will intrigue social historians and any with an interest in early American history. Many an antiques collector will also find this useful, including over six hundred black and white illustrations of farm tools.

We gave this book to my son's 3rd grade teacher for Christmas and he really enjoyed the book. He is an antique farm equipment history buff and has a whole collection of "old" tools and implements that he leaves in his classroom for kids to explore and guess what their uses were. He found many items in this book that he remembered as a kid or had seen in antique stores. Finally, a teacher gift that will get put to use!
