need help with patent info search
« on: January 18, 2016, 05:58:53 PM »
A bit off topic for the item,  but perhaps relevant in a general sense.

I bought a plow today with the patent date on it.

I found the patent number and  names of the 2 gents who filled it.

but how do I find who manufactured it?


Plow 

patented March 31 1863

pat no  38056

Improvement on shovel plows

Israel Mosher and Walden Eddy

where do I search for the next step?

thanks

The patentees were from Mosherville, NY and Union Village, NY so I would start looking at NY farm equipment makers. Maybe Rustcollector will jump in as he is a big NY state collector.
