Publication of the 1911 Lock Catalogue

On 1 April 1911, we issued a new illustrated catalogue from our Brooklyn factory, presenting what the company described as its full line of padlocks, latches, store-door locks, combination and key-operated drawer locks, and related hardware. The 157-page catalogue provides a detailed record of the range being manufactured as Wilson Bohannan entered its sixth decade in business. Railroad products remained a distinct part of the range. The catalogue specifically indexed padlocks for railroad use and highlighted W.B. switch locks, alongside numerous bronze and steel-key padlock configurations. The breadth of the catalogue also shows that production extended well beyond railroad locks to equipment for commercial buildings and other industrial applications.
