Label TextThe Sinclair Scott Manufacturing Company, based in Baltimore, was known for its cast iron apple and peach peelers, particularly a model patented by Robert Scott in 1871. Initially, Scott's company was located in Newark, New Jersey, as "R. P. Scott & Co." The business relocated to Baltimore and evolved into the Sinclair Scott Manufacturing Company by 1890. The company later expanded into manufacturing canning and kitchen equipment and eventually entered the automobile business.
