Description: |
| A combination tool for use at the office, this patent is most noteable for the unique assignment to a 1900c newspaper. It is possible that this tool was provided at some point as an advertisement or subscription gift, especially if marked as in the patent drawing.
This patent was assigned to the Journal of Commerce Company with the addendum "for the Benefit of the Age of Steel."
From: http://stlouis.missouri.org/government/heritage/history/culture.htm
The Age of Steel became a leading journal for the iron and steel industry, for example. Originally a German weekly, it changed its name and language in 1861 to Journal of Commerce. New owners reissued it in 1880 as The Age of Steel. |
