Circa: 1927
Condition: Good++
Publisher: Theo. Audel & Co, New York
This is a nice set of Audels with a complete set of 4 volumes printed and copyright in 1923, 1st edition, reprinted in 1927 (2nd printing). One of my favorite reference book sets for information on building and carpentry technics from the 1920's. The 1st volume is very good for information on tools of that days and how to care for them. Each book is 5" x 6.7" has a black leather like pressed cloth semi soft boards, gold gilt spine lettering and page edges. This set is in good++ condition overall, with the light line running down each spine, where the books have been fully opened (minor wear from use), and some minor wear, on the front cover of volume 3, on the U in Builders. A few light smudges noted on the gold gilt page edges. All the covers and spines on all volumes are clean, spines are tight and straight, some minor edge wear or corner bumping. Some minor wear on the gold gilt page edges; otherwise all pages are very clean with very little age toning, (looks like light staining around the edges) noted on the inside front and back cover areas. Good tight bindings. <br> A nice set of books covering tools, steel square, cutting tools, saw sharpening, nails, screws, joinery, furnature, math, drawings, estimating, house and roof framing, layout, foundations, doors, windows, stair building, millwork, painting, etc. Lots of good information, in this well kept set of vintage carpentry!
