Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the December 1836 fire. Only about 2000 of the almost 10000 documents were recovered. For this patent, only the drawing is available. From the Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 6, Sept. 1829 page 186: "For an improvement in the Manufacture of Combs; John Brown, Providence, Rhode Island, June 11. 'It is proposed to make fine toothed combs out of small scraps of ivory, which are of little value; pieces sufficiently large to form one row of teeth, leaving a narrow back to connect them together, answering the intended purpose. Two such pieces, when cut, may be joined by an intermediate piece of hard wood, horn, or any other suitable substance, to which they may be attached by cementing, or otherwise.'" |
