Description: |
| This patent refers to others issued to the same inventor, on 1866-02-20 (52,719) and 1871-01-03 (110,765).An example is reported (see photo), labeled "Joseph Jones Patent July 21, 1874. Newark. NJ".Jones was a patternmaker who in 1876 was working out of 267 Market Street in Newark. At that same address was Parkhurst & Gridley, makers of shawl straps and stationers' goods. The partners in that business were salesman Edwin D. Parkhurst and itinerant inventor and manufacturer Wilmer D. Gridley. The partnership seems to have been short-lived: Parkhurst & Gridley are listed in the 1875-76 Newark City Directory but not any directories before or after that one. The 1876 Official Program of the Centennial Exposition listed Parkhurst & Gridley as an exhibitor of shawl straps and stationers' supplies; an independent guide for that Exposition, published by J. S. Ingram, describes Joseph Jones as exhibiting his patent miter planer, manufactured by the Gridley Company. Gridley Co. is not listed in any directory or other source that we have found, and it is a virtual certainty that in fact this is a reference to Parkhurst & Gridley. The Report of the New Jersey Commissioners on the Centennial Exhibition, page 375, in a paragraph of Parkhurst & Gridley: "Manufacturers of book and shawl straps, joint and miter planer,..." |
