Vintage 1963–64 US Gypsum home improvement booklet lot – garage, attic, kitchen, room additions – mid century DIY

$22.00

Fabulous 1963-64 booklets presented by the United States Gypsum Company are time capsules of mid-century home improvement and DIY. They were probably gathered on an ambitious Saturday trip to the hardware store (one booklet is marked "Granville Lumber"). The booklets are chock full of color and black-and-white photos, floor plans, diagrams, and instructions. Though the ideas were offered with postwar and holder homes in mind, they are surprisingly fresh inspiration for today's renovators and vintage  home restorers.
