George Lawrence Company Catalog list
The George Lawrence Company began producing printed catalogs in 1894, starting with “Catalog #1”. It can be a challenge to sort these catalogs into the year they were printed, as many of them did not include a date of publication. This is often done with wholesale catalogs that may be intended for use longer than a standard calendar year.
In 2010 we received a massive donation of items from the George Lawrence Company, from William “Bill” Lawrence, the direct descendent and grandson of the founder. We have an exhibition featuring the tools used for manufacture of the products, and have catalogs on display. Many of these catalogs were the personal reference catalog used at the sales counter by the owners, and included hand-written notes about products and sales information.
While catalogs contain basic information, there isn’t always the level of detail we are asked for. They will contain the model number of the item, a very brief description, and the wholesale price of the item. (Remember, these wholesale sales catalogs were intended for the retailer to order product. The retailer set the price in their store to charge customers, which varied.) As mentioned above, we can’t always pin down the year the catalog was printed.
We have filed the list below in the order of the museum’s catalog accession number, which is essential for us to look up any specific information. We have not yet created PDFs of these catalogs. We hope this list may help you in your research.
Requests to research any specific item will be processed as time allows. Apologies ahead of time – as we are a small team, it may take a while! Be aware we have over 140 sales catalogs and brochures in this collection and it is not always feasible for us to look in each one, but we’ll do our best to get you answers to your questions.
