Peters & King (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Commonwealth Book Company, Inc., 2024
ISBN 10: 194898685X ISBN 13: 9781948986854
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Peters & King is the authoritative and most complete history of two important and related American shooting sports companies: Peters Cartridge Company and its parent, the King Powder Company. Thomas D. Schiffer's carefully researched and well-illustrated work details their early histories and, especially, their development into premier manufacturers of sporting ordnance. While filled with the technological and legal history of Peters & King, the book is also a history of a particular place and its people: Kings Mills, just north of Cincinnati, Ohio. For nearly a century, the massive cartridge plant, with its dozens of buildings and improvements, and the company town King built, dominated this small part of Warren County, nestled on the banks of the Little Miami River. Massive concrete, brick, and steel remnants of Peters & King still stand today, developed and repurposed for the 21st century. This edition includes a new Afterword by the author that explains how the Peters & King site became a refurbished commercial hub, housing luxury apartments & a microbrewery, all serviced by a long-needed new bridge across the Little Miami River. This book remains a valuable resource for a variety of people: sportsmen, collectors, and those interested in the history of Kings Mills. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Quarto, leatherette (hardcover), gilt lettering, 255 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: This important work is the result of the author's many years of research that chronicle how King became a real force in the explosives/sporting powder industry and Peters became a sophisticated ammunition maker. This book records how they helped shape and define today's shooting sports activities. Both companies provided components or finished ammunition to the military (from the Spanish-American War through the Korean War) and sportsmen for well over a half-century. Additionally, their inventions and developments in the industrial blasting powders made work safer and more efficient for miners and builders. Later, the ammunition company was incorporated into what is today the Remington Arms Company, Inc. The Peters Cartridge Company invented an automatic cartridge-loading machine (still used today) and was the first to introduce automatic machine-loaded cartridges as an article of commerce. Peters loaded some of the most accurate cartridges of all time. The King Powder Company introduced the famous and still-lamented Semi-Smokeless powder. King also invented, manufactured and delivered explosives used by the heavy construction, oil and mining industries. Finally, in the normal course of making and promoting their products, both Peters and King produced some of today's most sought-after cartridge boxes, literature and advertising graphics.
