Red publisher's cloth, gilt lettering front cover & spine, black stamp of "Foreign" on front cover (minor staining & soiling, edgewear), still a G copy. First edition of this very scarce Jazz Age lock and padlock catalogue for the storied H. & T. Vaughan lock company, who was the first company in Willenhall to develop and manufacture a cylinder pin tumbler lock. This lavishly illustrated catalogue details the locks and the keys, as well as listing all the different hardware including dead locks, mortice locks, brass & steel finger plates, letter plates, night latches, cupboard locks, Peterborough, Hereford, Durham, Worcester, Lichfeld, and Carlisle lock sets, brass knobs, wood knobs, and so much more. The entire line-up of brass & steel key blanks are included, as well as an extended section on their famed cylinder pin tumbler locks first developed by Percy Bryan. Founded originally in 1856 when Henry & Thomas Vaughan joined together to form their company which continued to grow through the 19th Century and was the main supplier of such locks for Yale Manufacturing Co., before selling out to them in 1928 to form Yale & Towne Manufacturing Co.
