American Levels - Volume 1, New England
Don Rosebrook
This book covers over 80 companies and individuals that made and/or sold levels in New England, starting with the earliest known level maker in 1743 and proceeding through the mid-twentieth century. For each maker, Dr. Rosebrook provides historical background and a full discussion of the maker's product lines, accompanied by hundreds of photographs of sample levels (many in color) and, where possible, an indication of the level's rarity. Also included is an extensive section on the Stanley Rule & Level Co, and much more.
