William Dixon, Inc.
Catalog
Newark, New Jersey USA
1926 Catalog. 480 pages
Established 1868, Dixon carried nothing but the finest tools and illustrated them with the finest engravings in the catalog. One of Dixon’s advertising ploys was to give many authors and publishers of text books permission to use their illustrations which always clearly had DIXON on the tool. Metal Techniques for Craftsmen By Oppi Untracht was one such book.
The catalog says “Catalog worth looking into” and Tools needed by, Jewlelers, Silversmiths, Die Sinkers, Engravers, Arts and Crafts and Metalworkers.
