Description
Black and white 5 3/4″ x 9″ ad for their Carvit which was a tool designed to facilitate Wood Carving. The ad has a picture of one of these units being used under a headline claiming that “You’re a Skilled wood carver in 20 minutes…with a Dumore Carvit“. This item is designed to mostly create exact copies of carved items that are placed under the guide bar on the left while the right side carves matching cuts into fresh material. The coupon attached to the ad indicates that the prices for these items were $48.50 for the Carvit, $58.25 for a Carvit with an index and $9.20 for a Flexible-Shaft attachment that turns it into “a tool of 1001 uses”.
