Kachmar, Auctioneer Flemington, NJ (201) 782-4271 carriage tires from a two year-old fast-rising company in Akron, Ohio ■ the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. At that time, Lebzelter’s specialized in the bending of hickory for the production of fine-grade wagon wheels. Since making that first order in 1900, Lebzelter’s has carried the winged foot brand exclusively, except during World War II when, tires were rationed. This period spans the entire history of the automobile age in Lancaster. But the history of the Philip Lebzelter and Sort Company began long before automobiles were even thought of seriously, on March 9, 1829 in Naulautem, Wurtemburg, Germany. On this date a son was born to the village burgomaster John Lebzelter and his wife Catherine. Although Philip was only one of 17 children in the family, in his youth <he thoroughly learned the trade of woodtuming from his father. In 1849, 20-year-old Philip sailed to the United States with his brother Wilhelm. After a 38-day voyage which landed them in New York City, the brothers traveled to relatives in Pennsylvania. Unable to find work in the German settlements 'in Lehigh and Berks counties, Philip traveled on foot to Reading. He finally found work on a farm in nearby Muhlenburg, where he was paid $4.00 amonth for his labor. Eventually Philip was able to find work in a Reamstown woodturning shop, where he utilized the skills he had learned from his father in Germany. At the same time, Philip’s brother was doing similar work in Allegheny, Pa. At Wilhelm’s urging, Philip traveled to Allegheny and joined him. Wilhelm later purchased the Allegheny business for $l4OO. In 1852, Philip moved to Lancaster, where he was hired by the woodturning shop of Bowers & Gshleman. There he worked For'one and a half years. In 1854, at the age of 25, Philip went into business for himself in Lancaster. The sign in front of his small shop HOT WATER HEATER Your hot water heater is the second largest energy user m the home.

He stayed on South Queen Street for one year, and then leased a shop on North Queen Street. From there he conducted the business for three years, until his lease ran out and the owner rented the property to another firm.

The goods which the Eagle Wheel and Bending Works produced at this time in cluded second-growth hickory bent rims, shafts, poles, spokes, wheels, bows, reaches, banded hubs, and a specialty of fine grade wheels. Much of the labor saving machinery used in the shop had been invented by Philip Lebzelter himself. The same year in which he founded his business, Philip married Elizabeth Heleine, a French immigrant. Their son William carried on the family tradition by learning the trade of woodtuming from his father. William was joined by his cousin Charles Lebzelter and together they operated the business for over 50 years. Philip Lebzelter, who had retired near the turn of the century, died in 1906.
