Full Description

Edward Preston & Sons was the most prolific manufacturer of iron spokeshaves in the United Kingdom from approximately 1880 until 1932. This book catalogues the iron spokeshaves and related tools manufactured by Preston.

Type studies are provided where the design of a particular spokeshave changed over the years that it was manufactured.
