Schlemmer Catalog
For 157 years Hammacher
Schlemmer catalog has provided for its customers some
of the most unique and durable gifts and products. Most
importantly products at Hammacher Schlemmer are guaranteed
for life! Hammacher Schlemmer opened for business
in New York City, thirteen years before the Civil War began,
by offering mechanic's tools and builder's hardware. In the
early 19th century high-quality hardware was not easy to come
by and Hammacher Schlemmer catalog quickly gained a reputation
for offering some of the best mortise gauges, saw bummers,
plumb bobs and other tools sold anywhere in the city.
Soon after its founding in 1848, a
12-year-old William Schlemmer began selling tools in front
of his uncle's hardware store, making $2.00 a week ($1.00
of which he mailed home to his family). As years passed, he
rose through the company ranks and, with the help of Alfred
Hammacher, bought out his uncle's interest in 1867. Meanwhile
the store grew, moved to larger locations and gained a reputation
for innovation by being one of the first stores in the United
States to install electric lighting. In 1878, the store was
listed among the initial 271 subscribers in the first New
York City telephone directory. The store published its first
catalog in 1881, and it was actually a bound, hardcover book.
By 1912, the catalog contained a total of 1,112 pages and
confirmed Hammacher Schlemmer catalog as the most complete
hardware source on the East Coast.
