Label TextThe McClary Manufacturing Company made this copper kettle. In 1852, John McClary (1829-1921) and his older brother Oliver (1818-1902) opened J. & O. McClary, a tinsmith shop in London. Over the years, the McClary Manufacturing Company produced a vast array of high-quality items, including cast iron stoves, copper kettles, and decorative enamelware. The company merged with four others in 1927 to become General Steel Wares. Its London plant closed in the mid-1970s.
