The reissue notes that the original patent had been extended for 7 years. An 1849 directory lists A. S. Macomber as a maker of straw cutters. The 1865 reissue was assigned to Warren Gale and Andrew Gale of Chicopee Falls, Mass., and it is likely by that time those two were manufacturing this straw cutter. |
