I worked for Brookstone in Peterborough, New Hampshire, back in the 1970’s. At that time it was located in Guernsey Cattle Building. There were about 25 employees and all did everything. The company was owned privately by the DeLongchamps. At that time, the beginning of the company, everything was all about rare and unusual tools. The magazine that went out monthly to hundreds was very successful.
I and many others, miss the original Brookstone for it’s wonderful tools.

Just like certain retired women’s tennis players.

That’s what I remember too. Sadly the company lost its way.

Agree. Haven’t bought from Brookstone in a while. Loved them and their stuff back in the day.
