Edmund Scientific Corporation

Edmund Scientific Corporation, based in Barrington, New Jersey, was a retailer that supplied science related items to educational institutions and hobbyists. Founded in 1942 as a retailer of surplus optical parts like lenses, it later branched out into selling a wide variety of new and used experimental hardware, military surplus, multimedia equipment, educational toys, telescopes and microscopes. They marketed their products through their mail order sales and associated catalogs, and also maintained a retail presence at their factory store.

Edmund Scientific closed their retail space and sold off their consumer products catalog operation in 2001. A spinoff company, Edmund Optics, continues operation out of their Barrington, New Jersey location.
