Marion Steam Shovel History Refrigerator Magnets Set
SKU: M0697
|
Shown at reduced size.
|
|
Magnets are made from photos of a Marion Steam Shovel brochure c. 1907.
Each of the three large magnets is 4-1/4" x 3-1/8"
When this brochure was published, Marion Steam Shovel Company employed 1,600 workers at its 25-acre facility, with monthly payroll at $75,000. All its buildings were equipped with electric lighting and steam heated. Two of the founders, Henry Barnhart & Edward Huber, were deceased. The third, George King, was president, and Huber & Barnhart's sons were involved in managing the company. Most of the company stock was owned by citizens of Marion, Ohio and the company was credited with much of the city's industrial growth.
40 machines a month were produced, and annual sales were $3 million. An estimated 150 Marion steam shovels were at work in brickyards. Large shovels sold for around $15,000, dredges for $3,500-$30,000, and continuous bucket or elevator machinery for up to $300,000.

ADDITIONAL MAGNET FAQ |
|
Q. Can you personalize or make custom magnets?
A. Happy to.
Simple text changes to stock magnets are free. Just add instructions to your payment or email me after payment. Sorry, I do not sell magnets of copyrighted images unless you are the copyright holder. |
|
Q. What about
durability?
A. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth. Do not soak, use abrasives or apply cleaning products containing bleach or solvents. I've run them through the dishwasher without disaster, but they'll last longer if you keep them out of puddles and away from puppy teeth. And they're most definitely not suited for exterior display.
 |
|
Q. What is your magnet
return policy?
A. Return it within 14 days of receipt for a full refund, including return shipping, up to the amount I spent getting it to you.
(In other words, if you decide to fly it here on your jet, I'm not buying the fuel :) |
Copyrights and images
I do not knowingly sell copyrighted materials. Please contact me if you see an image in my offerings that is contrary to this policy. |
|
|
Q. Are magnets three dimensional or die cut shapes?
Please be advised that my magnets are NOT three dimensional or die cut. They do not light up, make noise or tell time. They are rectangular pictures printed on flat, flexible 30ml magnetic vinyl with a protective satin-finish top coating and hand finished edges. The magnets are roughly twice the thickness & strength of magnetic material found at office supply stores.
In other languages that's: El imán es una imagen plana. L'aimant est une image plate. Der Magnet ist ein flaches Bild. Il magnete è un'immagine piatta. De magneet is een vlakke afbeelding.
 |
|
Q. When do you ship?
A. Since my magnets are made to order, I allow myself 4 business days for production. However, I strive to ship within 36-48 hours of payment and will always work with you if you have a special deadline. Just let me know if you are buying for a particular date and I'll move your order to the top of the heap. |
|
Q. Will the magnet
stick to my....?
A. I'd like to have you as a customer, but only if you know what you are buying. The truth is that magnets do not stick to all metals. For example, magnets do not stick to stainless steel or brass.
