Add to SetSummary
Until the first decade of the 19th century, tinsmiths in both Europe and the United States manufactured virtually all tinware by hand using a variety of specialized tools. But as tinware became more popular, American tinsmiths added new machines to their more traditional set of equipment. This catalog advertised the wide range of tools and machines used to produce tinware in late 19th-century America.
