context_page_description: Philip Corbin was an American industrialist who founded P&F Corbin Company, a major manufacturer of decorative hardware.
context_section_description: In June 1848, Corbin married Francina T. Whiting. The couple had three children, two of whom survived. They later adopted a daughter.
  At the end of 1848, the Corbin brothers sought a partner for P&F Corbin. In a small factory built by Corbin's father-in-law, the brothers, along with Edward Doen, began their first manufacturing firm. The first items produced at the factory were ox balls for the horns of oxen and steer. A year later Henry Whiting bought out Doen's interests in the company and the firm became known as Corbin, Whiting and Company. By 1851 the Corbin brothers had purchased Whiting's interest and the firm became the P&F Corbin Company.
  The company shared a building with the owners of the North & Stanley Company that owned their premises. In 1853, several North & Stanley directors, including John Butler Talcott also became directors of P&F Corbin. 
  Through the latter half of the 19th century, P&F Corbin manufactured builders’ hardware including coat and hat hooks, sash fasteners, picture nails, locks, knobs, as well as coffin trimmings. In early 1870, the company switched to decorative hardware. Many prominent buildings from Boston to Philadelphia, including the Connecticut State Capitol in Hartford, are outfitted with Corbin decorative hardware.
