An Early Catalog for
Queen City Forging Co.

Product cataloges of 1885 (left), 1896, and 1921 give hints of the company's standing and focus during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That focus was primarily carriage hardware with some attention given to custom drop forging. The 1885 catalog reflects Cincinnati in the boom of the carriage building business. Step pads, axle parts, fifth wheels, and a large assortment of all kinds of hardware were being sold.
