| Description: |  | Assignee Burrell, Ives & Co. was a company best known for making veneers; they may have had a sideline in wooden barrel-hoops, which were needed not only for manufacturing barrels, but for replacing worn-out hoops on older barrels. Wooden hoops had to be replaced every few years, which is why they were eventually obsoleted by iron hoops. |  |
