Description: A rare and visually stunning treasure, the Winn Dial and Hands Catalogue by J.J. Winn’s Sons, Winchester, Massachusetts, originates from the pre-World War II era, likely the 1930s. This spiral-bound paperback, measuring 11 ¼ by 8 ¾ inches and comprising 72 pages with additional reference pages, offers a comprehensive array of radio, clock, indicator, and watch hands, showcased through mesmerizing full-color illustrations of such exceptional artistry that the pages could be displayed as standalone works of art. Founded in 1876, J.J. Winn’s Sons began as specialists in watch hands before diversifying into components for clocks, gauges, aircraft, radar, ammunition, ordnance equipment, and guided missiles during World War II, when the company shifted nearly entirely to war production. Preserved in excellent original condition, this catalogue stands as a singular artifact of horological and industrial history, its spiral-bound format enhancing both its practicality and aesthetic appeal. Unmatched by any known contemporary, this volume is a prized acquisition for bibliophiles and horologists, offering a vivid window into the precision and artistry of pre-war American craftsmanship.
