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.
