JUst realized I had found the J Stow handle also. It was recovered very close to the back plate. 42B3E41A-6757-4419-9990-F38932198632.jpeg 6AF70F6B-854C-45ED-9A02-D3BC9816F770.jpeg

That’s a very interesting relic! Congratulations!

What is the oval tag? All I can read is “model”...

Awesome J. Stow drawer pull and connection with the foundry that cast the Liberty Bell! That lettering font just sings out 18th century to me.
:notworthy:

BELOW) John Pass & John Stow Cannon:

IMGP0600

John Pass & John Stow were famous for recasting the Whitehall bell into the Liberty Bell. Interesting enough, both these men are “Ghosts” with no identity history of their personal lives, no other relics surviving from their brass foundry, other than this historical cannon that came from Gen. Benedict Arnold’s scuttled gun boat from the lake in Vermont. The relic, it was discovered that it was taken from sunken wreck in the early 1900’s and was for sale on Ebay with an asking price of only a few thousand dollar. Thanks to the effort of the “lake Champlain Maritime Museum” a complaint was sent out to the Government. Well, they stepped in an a retired US Air Force General gave the stolen US property to the museum. The Museum knew the cannon was in fact made at the brass foundry of Pass & Stow. My research allowed the Museum to acknowledge that the very rare foundry identification mark. Allowed factual dating of the cannon being made in the 1740’s, but making the little relic the earliest known manufactured cannon on the American continent. (Imagine That!)

Found above article on website
American Relic Hysteries

Interesting that they say no other relics have been found from J Stow foundry.
Until my recent Drawer pull. Neat!

In 1945 the Model 89C is listed as a Gladiron Ironer or Ironing machine, it came out of Chicago. Seems like in War Time the Government had put together
a list of various products and placed a maximum selling price on them. More historical significance to your finds..........63bkpkr
