Patent Number Date Title Name City Description
9,983 Aug. 30, 1853 Shingle-machine Elijah Valentine Palmer, MA Assignee Bradway's location is inferred from other patents.
This invention is mentioned in an 1866 ad from Wm. H. Hiner & Co., "Sole Manufacturers of the Celebrated Valentine and Braudreau Shingle Mills."
43,617 Jul. 19, 1864 Improvement in hanging circular saws Josiah Young Bangor, ME This invention is mentioned in an 1866 ad from Wm. H. Hiner & Co., "Exclusive Owners for Wisconsin of Josiah Young's patent for collaring circular saws."
105,244 Jul. 12, 1870 Improvement in machine for sharpening the teeth of saws Harford J. Perkins Williamsport, PA Inventor Perkins was a partner of Willis J. Perkins in Perkins & Co. The assignee was partner in sawmill machinery maker Snyder Brothers. This machine was seen in an 1882 Rowley & Hermance catalog, marketed as the "Climax Saw Gummer and Filer". It is uncertain if they actually manufactured the machine, though. An 1875 ad for Union Iron Works, Wm. H. Hiner & Co., says that they are manufacturers of Perkins' Saw Gummer.
124,101 Feb. 27, 1872 Improvement in shingle-machines Alexander White Fond du Lac, WI This invention is seen as "White's double block shingle machine" in an 1875 ad for Union Iron Works, Wm. H. Hiner & Co.
An 1886 catalog from machinery dealer Curtis & Co. features the George Challoner's Sons' Combined Power & Hand Feed Shingle & Spalt Machine. The description says that they are the exclusive owners of the White patent 124,101.
129,400 Jul. 16, 1872 Improvement in edging and ripping machines Elmer C. Dicey Whitehall, MI
130,904 Aug. 27, 1872 Improvement in machines for turning logs Elmer C. Dicey Whitehall, MI
132,086 Oct. 08, 1872 Improvement in log-carriages for sawmills Willard Lamb Green Bay, WI An 1875 ad from Willard Lamb shows this invention. "Foundrymen and saw mill machinists are requested to apply to me for manufacturers' licenses and terms of royalty." There is a list of 15 references, which we assume were users of the invention. Follow the link provided to Wm. H. Hiner & Co. and then look at the "Images" tab on that page to view the ad. One of the companies listed in the ad is E. P. Allis & Co., and an ad from that firm in the same book as the Lamb ad includes this text: "We make Willard Lamb's patent wire rope carriage movement that dispenses entirely with the cog gear. The Saw Carriage is much lighter and can be handled much more rapidly and at a much less expense than the old movements."
