First Major Marion-Era Catalogue Published

In 1930, we issued a new product catalogue from Marion, Ohio, providing an early detailed record of the range manufactured after the company relocated from Brooklyn in 1927. Wilson Bohannan continues to preserve the 1930 edition as part of its historical catalogue collection, alongside publications dating back to 1869. The catalogue combined established Wilson Bohannan designs with models documented for the first time in 1930. These included Models 10 and 11, as well as a new group of smaller warded locks such as Models 50, 51 and 52. Surviving examples carry the Marion, Ohio identification, making the catalogue a useful record of both product continuity and development during the company's early years of manufacturing in Ohio.
