- Make-Do Pitcher, 1973 - In 19th-century America, local tinsmiths produced new goods and offered repair services. Customers might bring a broken article of tin or another material, such as pottery or glass, to be repaired with a tin replacement part. "Making do" was much less expensive than purchasing a new item. The modern handle seen here was made in the Greenfield Village tin shop using historical tinsmithing techniques.
