I've never seen a Pritzlaff marked tool in the wild until this adjustable that I found at a swap meet.
Although four.cyle has posted a few 1890, 1902 and 1910 catalog pages, we don't seem to have any Pritzlaff-marked tool photos on Garage Journal. It seems odd considering that eBay has quite a few Pritzlaff marked tools: knives, pliers, hammers, planes, hatchets, soldering irons, braces, scissors, wire brushes, saws, chisels, monkey wrenches, combo squares and other tools.
There is a 1915 catalog on Internet Archive (not on ITCL). Link: John Pritzlaff hardware company, jobbers of hardware, cutlery, sporting goods, iron, metals, etc. - 1915
John Pritzlaff, a Prussian immigrant started John Pritzlaff and Company in 1850 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The company was owned by descendants of his until the John Pritzlaff Hardware Company closed in 1958. Wikipedia says Pritzlaff's enterprise became the largest hardware company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and eventually became one of the largest wholesale hardware companies and iron supply houses in the Midwest. It was known for selling hardware, sewing machines, and toys through mail order catalogs to wholesale accounts throughout the United States.
