Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First Edition. "In presenting our 1911 catalogue, it is with the belief that between its covers will be found well illustrated and described the most comprehensive line of Refrigerator Hardware made by any manufacturer in the world." Founded in 1895, The Dent Hardware Co. was the nation's leading… producer of brass refrigerator hardware, as well as one of the largest producers of cast iron toys in Pennsylvania. 358 p. with a plethora of full size illustrations. Square quarto. Bound with bolts in one-quarter red calf over black cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles. Minor dust spotting to the top edge. Some splitting along the front joint; the binding is otherwise quite sound. The boards are a bit edgeworn; else a very good example of this early 20th century American trade catalogue.

First editions, thus, of these catalogues and exceedingly rare complete salesman sample kit for the Wagner Manufacturing garage door hardware in the 1920s. After World War I, the explosion and popularity of automobile ownership in the United States created a desperate need to house these often cantankerous and essential machines for homes, businesses, and commercial fleets. By quickly adapting their hardware sets for elevator doors first introduced before World War I, Wagner was able to quickly capitalize on the market growth and need for door hardware to retrofit existing garages, as well as new construction. Often coupled with doors produced by Johnson, Fimbel, Hartford, Barber-Colman, Overhead, and Crawford, the Wagner hardware sets proved durable and popular. In addition, this sample kit features the specialized steel stud brackets developed by Wagner to help brace garages and sheds adapted for garage doors to hold automobiles, as the weight of the doors could damage existing construction, as Americans were interested in rolling doors, and sectional garage doors rather than traditional swing-out barn-type doors. Wagner (1871-1937) originally founded his company in Cedar Falls, IA in 1904 to manufacture children's sleds, coaster wagons, and hay rack fixtures, with a variety of door hardware. They merge with Star Elevator Doors before World War I, and later with Boardman Elevator Control of Chicago, with primary customers as Otis Elevator and Westinghouse. In 1934, Wagner began producing the iconic Wagner Overhead Garage Door, and by the 1950s had become one of the largest garage door manufacturers in the country. Worldcat locates 1 copy of No. 25 (Harvard); and 1 of Wagner-Star Elevator Door Cat (Univ. of Kansas); no copies of the other catalogues or examples of the Salesman Sample Model in case.
