What sets us apart.
We pay attention to the little things. We have 7 different thicknesses of hot dipped tin so we can make an exact reproduction. We also have 3 sizes of tinned rivets (not poisonous zinc coated rivets). We closely examine originals and make “bench copies”. If the original had offset parts we offset them. Our products are made as museum quality replicas.
Our aim is to produce fine-quality, historically-accurate tinware:
– We use hot dipped tin instead of electro-plated
which was not introduced until the 1890s.
– We use tin for damming/soldering and rosin for
the flux.
– All of our tools and wares are pre-1865.
– We use swages, stakes, and mandrils for our Colonial
tinware and rotary machines for our Civil War tinware.
