Corbin Bedford Doorbell Cover

Description

Corbin Bedford Doorbell Cover

Wrought bronze doorbell cover plate, probably Bedford design by Corbin. Cir. 1905. This is a fairly simple oval design, so pieces were probably made by a few different manufacturers. The plate measures 5 1/2″h x 2 1/4″w. The hole for the bell turn is in the center. According to the catalogue, this cover was made for use with a turn, but it could also probably be used with a push button. The opening is 1/2″diam.

Corbin

P&F Corbin was founded by brothers Philip and Frank Corbin in New Britain, CT. in 1851. Interestingly, Philip previously worked for the company that would become Russell and Erwin, which Corbin would merge with in 1902. It ran with a number of subsidiary companies in the 1900’s including Corbin Cabinet Lock Co., Corbin Screw Company and even a Corbin Motor Vehicle Corporation! Corbin is still in business today under ownership of Assa Abloy under the name Corbin Russwin.
