Condition: You are purchasing a very rare, crazy cool Heavy Duty Beth Steel Binder in good condition, with the binder having the iconic "I" Beam logo on the front with the words SALE ORDERS. The binder has a nice green textured cloth grip type cover, both front and back. The inside back cover has some cool doodles, and the spine and cover has some darker shading on it from years of handling. The binder also has a heavy duty piano hinge, 3 rings, and metal framing around the front and back covers to protect the edges. We had about a dozen of these originally, some dating back to the 60's and 70's, thise were the first to go. The binder were so well made they were used for years over and over. This is one of the last ones they used before they shuttered the Sparrows point plant in 2012

This is a well preserved piece, having survived years of use and still remaining at the shuttered sparrows point ship yard office. It is in good condition inside and out. Nothing to exciting on the inside but, the collectible value is in this cool piano hinged heavy duty logo'd binder! The spine has a metal holder for sliding in a label. It also reads "SALE ORDERS" vertically down the spine. What a great piece to own if you worked at the steel mill or ship yard, or what a great gift for someone who spent a lifetime building a career there. This binder has that made in the USA heavy duty feel you can only get from purchasing these relics from the past.

Don't pass up the rare opportunity to purchase this historical binder for your collection!

This piece would be a great addition to your collection, man cave, den, shop, garage, retail or resale. It would also make a fantastic gift for someone who used to work for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Bring back the nostalgia of the days when everything was Made In America with this unique item of industrial heritage.

We were privileged enough to be given access to the former Bethlehem Steel property in Sparrows Point, Baltimore, MD., where it served as an industrial giant in the steel, ship and rail industries for decades. We were fortunate enough to recover many items from this industrial giant steel mill, ship and rail yard, ranging from new old stock parts to signs and other collectible ephemera. It's been an honor to play a part in the preservation of the heritage of such a prestigious American manufacturing icon, and one that played a critical role in the building of this great industrial nation, WWII, and the proud blue collar history of the city of Baltimore.

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation was founded in 1857 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and expanded its operations to Baltimore in 1916. The mill at Sparrows Point quickly eclipsed the production levels of the main Pennsylvania plant, and by the middle of the 20th century had been named the largest steel mill in the world. In addition to manufacturing the steel utilized in the building of such hallmarks of American infrastructure as the Golden Gate Bridge and Madison Square Garden, Bethlehem Steel's Baltimore-based Fairfield Shipyard was responsible for building the ships that were instrumental in winning World War II. Although Sparrows Point ceased steel production for good in 2012, the plant is still fondly remembered by many of the tens of thousands of Baltimoreans it employed over the years.

About Us 

Md Architectural Rescue is a different type of recycling company. We have operated in Baltimore and surrounding areas since 1996. After starting out rescuing fireplace mantles and cast iron door locks from construction dumpsters, we have opened our eyes to may types of waste that are often over looked and fall through the cracks. Our focus is and always will be vintage items of the highest quality. But with our eyes now open we put a lot of effort in bringing you high end collectibles from every industry available and at a very reasonable price. All our items are salvaged and are for the most part American Made. One week we could be in an old School, Brewery, Factory, and the following week at a  Shipyard or Power plant, you just never know. Also, one day we may be removing Vintage lighting, the next day Signs and Vintage blueprints and the following day cleaning out a machine shop or high end parts room. We literally have NO idea what we have coming around corner, so make sure you add us to your favorites and check back often.

We also run two additional stores. If you are looking for unique and interesting glass pieces,
