Ralph.  Here is a picture of my fathers blacksmith shop in the late 1920's .  The one at the first anvil is my father Claude then the first man standing in the group of three is my Grandfather Charles Edward Osborn  the others are employees.

The second picture is of our plant built in 1954 and the third is the cover of our  sales catalog.  When I and my two of my  brothers returned from W.W.II in 1946 we started the new business,  C. D. Osborn & Co. where we manufactured Materials Handling Equip. incorporating my father old business into the new one.


We sold the business in 1992 after I retired from 50 years of working there.
