Flatbed Pins and Buttons
Description: Falcon Transport was founded in 1903 with a single horse and wagon in Youngstown, Ohio. The firm grew to become a major service provider for American steel mills, Detroit automakers, and hauling general commodities for some of America's largest companies. Falcon was handed down and managed through four generations of family ownership before being sold in 2017, but not two years later the company became insolvent, ending a 116-year run as one of America's trucking greats.

Description: Lufkin Foundry & Machine Company was founded in 1902 in Lufkin, Texas as a repair shop and parts supply house for regional sawmills. The company ventured into the petroleum industry and manufactured the first enclosed geared pumping unit, and a counterbalanced crank that improved the pumping unit and made a name for the company worldwide. In 1939, the company bought the Martin Wagon and Trailer Company, established the Lufkin Trailers to manufacture heavy-duty truck trailers. Leveraging their extensive design experience, Lufkin began building the lightest and toughest trailers in the industry, and could barely keep up with demand. In 1970, a new 400 acre trailer plant was built south of Lufkin, allowing production to meet demand.
