Heating history

Years ago I found a strange looking heating control hanging on the wall in a boiler room in Seattle and was able to get the owners to give it to me. It had a large copper spring, gears, and an electromagnet. I learned through research that it was called a damper flapper and was the first example of using a thermostat to control a coal furnace or boiler. It was patented in the late 1800's, and the one I have is stamped with the date 1906. I have done further research and have purchased a collection of the thermostats that were used with it (although from a later date), and also some original advertising from the time illustrating the advantages of the thermostat. I really believe these items deserve as a minimum documenting through video and photo's, and really should be displayed in some sort of museum. I have some videos of the damper flapper operating but they are to large to upload to this site, and I don't have a ton of time to invest but I do think this is worth sharing. At this point I would consider giving everything I have to someone who could put together some videos so this isn't lost. You can search damper flapper on google and you will see my original post as one of the few results. This company eventually merged with Honeywell, I tried to contact them some years ago but found little interest. Anyone interested in helping in any way is greatly appreciated.
