Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the December 1836 fire. Only about 2000 of the almost 10000 documents were recovered. Only this patent's drawing is available.From 1880-04-01 The Register of Arts, and Journal of Patent Inventions, page 276."This improvement in the manufacturing and ornamenting of combs, consists in drawing any device, or ornament, upon the tops of combs, with gold size, and the laying on of gold, silver, or other leaf, or bronze. This process is the same that is practised upon chairs, and an infinite variety of ornamented articles; the invention, or discovery, therefore, consists in doing that upon combs which has in itself no novelty whatever. The whole specification might have been comprised in the words, 'I claim a patent for ornamenting combs by gilding.' Query, is this 'a new and useful improvement on any art, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, not known or used before the application?'" |
