Description: |
| This patent date was seen on a Trevor shingle machine that also said, "Licensed under Evarts' Patent" and the date January 4, 1872 (patent 11,858). Shingles machines of this patent have even been seen in a 1912 catalog for Trevor Mfg. Co., albeit with the improvements of patents 764,873 and 883,922. We have also see a Goldie & McCulloch shingle machine based on this patent, which was presumably not licensed since American patents were not recognized in Canada. We did find a listing for a Canadian shingle-machine patent granted in 1859 to one James Law of Scarborough, Ontario (XC-932). We have not been able to find a copy of that specification but it might be a Canadian version of this patent: at the time, only residents of Canada could receive Canadian patents, so perhaps Robert Law arranged for a Canadian relative to apply for a patent on his behalf. |
