Scope and Contents
The American Sealants Company (Loctite) collection comprises an oversize scrapbook, loose and framed photographs, publications, and artifacts and realia. As explained in a letter attached to the inside front cover, the scrapbook was a celebratory gift to Nan and Bob Krieble from Barb and Don Correll, commemorating twenty-five years of the company's growth and their work together. The scrapbook pages provide a historical narrative of the early years of the company (1956-1963) and include advertising bulletins and publicity, price lists, letters, memos, lists of sales representatives, application case histories, and at least two photographs.
The photographs series includes additional loose photographs and two framed items. The publications series includes copies of Drop by Drop: The Loctite Story, 1953-1980 by Ellsworth S. Grant, The Loctite Story by Kenneth W. Butterworth, and a signed copy of Loctite: How to Increase Reliability and Prevent Threaded Assembly Failure, published in 2020. A newspaper, Loctite Sealant News, as well as an article about Trinity professor Vernon Krieble from The Hartford Courant Magazine are here as well. The realia and artifacts series includes samples of Loctite Threadlocker (243 and 248) and a fleece vest.
