"The Illustrated Sheffield List" by Edward Brookes, Sheffield

The Illustrated Sheffield List, published in 1871 by Edward Brookes, is one of the oldest English tool and machinery catalogues available on the internet. It was digitized by Google from the library of Oxford University and is available on the Internet Archive.

Also, I have downloaded and edited it down to the pages with trowels and masonry tools. Some pages only have one masonry tool, others have several. The entire index is included should you want to refer to the full copy on the Internet Archive.

I have not been able to find a history of Edward Brookes on the internet, but the firm bears a close similarity to Samuel Newbould and Co., as described on Grace's Guide.
