Keegan (1887-1972), 227 Grafton St., Shrewsbury, MA, carpenter and building contractor who by World War II had become a poultry farmer, together with TLS, invoices, and order forms from both Ceco and Pyramid regarding orders for window weatherstrip contracts by Keegan in 1928 and 1929. An extraordinarily complete salesman sample case for metal weatherstrip windows, and doors during the 1920s, including all of the original working models, and sales literature. At the end of the 19th Century there was a growing awareness and need for better heating and ventilation, as well as retaining heat within homes, office buildings, and public buildings. Metal weatherstripping was developed for wooden double-hung windows and doors in order to better retain heat within these interior spaces. Following World War I, the Chicago & Omaha based company, Concrete Engineering Co. "Ceco" began marketing and producing an entire line-up of carefully milled and engineered zinc, brass & bronze weatherstripping products targeted not only towards new construction, but also towards homeowners retrofitting and upgrading their existing windows.

C. Louis Meyer (1886-1953), an entrepreneurial mechanical engineer founded the Concrete Engineering Co. originally in Omaha, NE pioneering and manufacturing reusable steel forms and reinforcement bar used for commercial construction in concrete buildings. The company later attracted attention by manufacturing and fabricating steel doors, windows, joists, and was a key subcontractor during the 1930s on the projects to build The Golden Gate Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, and the Cleveland Union Terminal. The Pyramid Metals Company emerged from the partnership of three former Ceco managers, including former subsidiary founder & organizer for Ceco, Ira L. Reed (1896-1972), but the company would not survive past 1932 during the Great Depression. Pyramid manufactured and sold nearly identical products to the Ceco Weatherstrip Co. products, but were not.…
