These images show an old Moore and Wright catalogue published in 1939. The original copy contains black and white illustrations and “the most complete range of British Tools ever issued by a Manufacturer” at the time.

Moore and Wright was founded in 1906 as manufacturers of engineers tools in Sheffield, England. They have designed, manufactured, and supplied measuring equipment for over 100 years, including these catalogues, sold by “ all good tool dealers throughout the world”.
