The Wilson Bohannan Company (Marion, Ohio) has been manufacturing padlocks for over 150 years. This makes them America's oldest continuous padlock maker. The founder Wilson Bohannan received his first padlock patent (No. 27,883) on April 17, 1860. In that patent his first name is spelled 'Wilsin', while in subsequent patents (Nos. 46,539, 55,047, 55,048, 67,401) his first name is spelled 'Wilson'. In the same year that his first patent was issued, he opened a small workshop in the rear of his Brooklyn home manufacturing padlocks. Outgrowing his home workshop, the company moved into larger quarters on Broadway and Kossuth Place, Brooklyn, New York in (or before) 1869. 〔 〕 〔 | 〕 〔 W. Bohannan Price & Co.
