Hammacher Schlemmer is an American retailer and catalog company based in Niles, Illinois.

History

Hammacher Schlemmer began as a hardware store specializing in hard-to-find tools in the Bowery district of New York City in 1848. Owned by proprietors Charles Tollner and Mr. R. Stern, it became one of the first national hardware stores. A few months later, Stern withdrew and Tollner continued the business until 1859, moving in 1857 to 209 Bowery. In 1859, family friend Albert Hammacher invested $5,000 in the company and the name was changed to C. Tollner and A. Hammacher.

Early in the Civil War, a severe coin shortage in New York City made it nearly impossible for retailers to make change for their customers. In response to this shortage, the United States government allowed merchants to mint their own coins, known as "rebellion tokens" or "copperheads". The store, at that point called Hammacher & Tollner, began distributing its own copper coins until the government ordered Hammacher & Tollner to cease.

During the 1860s, William Schlemmer, Tollner's nephew by marriage, gradually bought out his stake in the company. When Tollner died in 1867, 26-year-old Schlemmer entered into a partnership with Hammacher and Peter F. Taaks. As a result, the company changed its name to Hammacher & Co. William Schlemmer had been actively involved with the business since 1853, when he had moved to New York City from Germany at age twelve and worked at the storefront. After a few years, Taaks resigned. Because Schlemmer owned a greater portion of the company, the name was changed in 1883 to the present style of Hammacher Schlemmer & Co.

Hammacher Schlemmer was among the first companies to install a telephone in their store, as well as one of the original subscribers to the Bell Telephone Company Directory. Hammacher Schlemmer was also the first retailer to offer a number of products, such as the "Tourist Autokit," the pop-up toaster (1930), the electric toothbrush (1955), and the telephone answering machine (1968), in the United States.

Hammacher Schlemmer began printing and distributing a company catalog in 1881. In 1912, it printed its largest catalog to date, spanning 1,112 pages. A hardbound copy of the 1912 catalog is housed in the Smithsonian’s permanent collection. By 1926, the Hammacher Schlemmer had moved uptown to a larger space at the company's present location of East 57th Street.

The First Printed Catalog, 1881

Hammacher resigned in 1892, leaving the whole company to Schlemmer serving as the President and Treasurer and his son William F. Schlemmer, to be named Vice President several years later.

Brighter than my headlights on bright!
Color: 26Inch Light White
This Nilight 26 inch 540 watt 50,000 lumen Triple Row Driving light is the brightest light I've ever had on my truck. I bought a kit to mount the light to my Grill Guard, just above the bumper. I can see deer just like daytime, at least two blocks before I get to them. I've never seen a light bar as bright. There are no cons if you ignore the fact that it comes without a wiring harness. I definitely recommend this light bar!

Satisfied customer!
Color: 26Inch Light Amber&White w/Wiring Harness, Color: 26Inch Light Amber&White w/Wiring Harness
First, the picture isn't great, but I didn't intend it for the review. I'm really impressed with the quality and brightness of this light for the price! Installation was easy and straightforward. If you can do some basic work with hand tools, you can install this light in about 30 minutes, including wiring. I like the functionality of having the different light modes, although I typically just use the bright white setting. Some people complained about water getting into their light, but I haven't had any problem with water resistance after several months (including rain, snow, off-roading, and spraying it down with high pressure at the car wash. It fit perfect, just make sure you pay attention to the measurements before you order.

Great performance but low grade material.
Color: 26Inch light White +Wiring Harness, Color: 26Inch light White +Wiring Harness
I want to give it 5 stars but I can't because: The light bar is extremely bright and they go a great distance. I am very satisfied with how much it puts out. 5 out of 5 stars for its performance. HOWEVER nilight seems like they're starting to go cheap with their build material. 2 out of 5 stars for that. I have added photos of the older material vs new material for reference. Their old material is 3.3mm thickness compared to their new material at 2.7mm thickness. And that's for the mounting brackets and the light bar housing. It doesn't seem like .6mm would be a big deal but it's noticeably less rigid. Hand tight started bending the metal. Great product for sure but build material is low grade. Not trying to knock them, I love nilight products and will keep using them but it seems like they trying to save money by cutting weight which makes it less rigid. Dings and scratches come easily now. It worries me a little bit if it can take the abuse of vibrations over time from driving around now.

It will light up your life
Color: 26Inch Light White w/Wiring Harness
I only got to use them once before my jeep was totaled. They’re super bright. Great build quality. It survived taking a header down a mountain side and rolling 4 times. When the jeep was recovered, the light bar still worked!!

Great light - very bright.
Color: 26Inch Light White
Installed on a Bronco. It wasn't designed for a Bronco, but I was able to mount it after a trip to hardware store and some minor modifications. The quality of the light itself seems good. Time will tell how long it lasts. It definitely lights up the road and is worth the price.
