Dayton's Buckeye Iron & Brass Works was founded in 1876 by Charles E. Pease, and survived until at least the mid-1960s. In their early years they manufactured wheel-making machinery and milling machines along with other product lines such as machinery for manufacturing cooking oil. By the late 1800s they had withdrawn from the machine tool business. Over the next several decades they were innovators in automated machinery for making cooking oil, in valves, nozzles and related components for fuel filling stations, in lights and sirens for emergency vehicles, and in water valves and nozzles for fire trucks.
