Description: |
| The patent is for a hard "die" which could be rotated to present new wearing faces, for multiple pivot holes and a movable bolt for the pivot, and for a slotted handle which can partially enclose the second handle.
A known example marked "ACME PIPE TONGS PAT. AUG. 6. 1872" includes features shown in C. H. Lovrien's November 9, 1880 patent (no. 234,304). Manufacturer identified from a mention in the 1884 "History of Erie County," which notes the Bay State Iron Company produced the ACME CUBE PIPE TONGS. By the late 1870s, Noble, Hall & Co. owned the Bay State Iron Co., which had originally been founded by Lovrien. |
