"With Hammer in Hand" by Charles F. Hummel - MINT CONDITION! - 1982 Edition

Description

This book is in Mint condition. The dust jacket is also mint - it has a VERY small tear (3/16" - see pic) - there are no other apologies for the book OR jacket. This is the fascinating story of three generations (from 1760 to 1840) of the Dominy family, craftsman in East Hampton NY - they were clockmakers, furniture makers and metalworkers. Their shops were purchased more or less complete and re-created at the Winterthur Museum in Delaware (of DuPont funding and fame). This large volume gives definitive details of the Dominy lives, shops, tools and output - a one-of-a-kind collection and story, stretching back to the earliest years of our country. At over 400 pages, it will give the buyer many hours of reading enjoyment and a tremendous amount of knowledge. A really great book in really great condition which is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to find in this condition. Thanks for looking - if you have a few minutes, I have other nice books as well as antique tools listed among the items in my Ebay store. (B56 - 11/20)
