Shop Lee Valley First Catalog Ornament

Second in a series of ornaments commemorating notable milestones in our company’s history, this maple ball depicts our first mail-order catalog, published in 1978. Its cover featured a beautifully finished tool chest made of solid walnut, something likely found on many woodworkers’ wish lists that year and since.

Produced in Gatineau, Québec, by artist, designer and woodworker Gaétan Courchesne, the 1 1/2″ diameter ball’s image shows a well-read catalog with tabbed pages. This collectible keepsake makes a charming decoration or seasonal gift.

At our stores (pick-up only), we offer a version of this ornament in limited quantities with the name of the city where the ornament is purchased shown on the reverse.
