F. P. Pfleghar |
New Haven, CT |
From the 1902 book, Commemorative Biographical Record of New Haven county, Connecticut.
"FRANK P. PFLEGHAR, a noted mechanic and manufacturer of hardware specialties at 74 Crown street, New Haven, was born in Wurtemberg, Germany, April 12, 1835... Pfleghar spent his school days in his native town, and began work when twelve years old. He came to New York when about nineteen years of age, and spent a year there working at cabinet making. In the old country he had worked with his father as a wheelwright and had a good knowledge of the use of tools. In 1855 he came to New Haven and secured employment in the Whitney Amory at Whitneyville, and for twelve years remained in the employ of that firm. At the expiration of that time, in company with William Shollhorn, he engaged in the machinist business under the name of Pfleghar & Shollhorn. After four years Mr. Pfleghar withdrew from the firm, and in company with McLagon & Stevens went into lock making under the name of the Union Lock Company. At the end of two and a half years this company was dissolved, and Mr. Pfleghar engaged in business for himself, devoting himself especially to the making of hardware specialties and tools, and in that line has developed a very flattering business, at No. 74 Crown street." |

Improvement in paper-box machines

The assignee had for about 20 years been a partner in foundry and manufacturer McLagon & Stevens. That firm got into financial difficulty by 1873, and Stevens sold out to Henry Smith, the firm becoming McLagon & Smith. By the time this patent was issued, that firm was also in financial difficulty and soon went bankrupt, eventually being succeeded by the McLagon Foundry Co. We do not know who, if anyone, may have manufactured this paper-box machine. |
