"Vintage Machinery" entry for James Hamilton

Description: |
| This patented design was seen in 2006 in an 8-page catalog on eBay (asking price, $495). The catalog is from 1833 or 1834 and illustrates "Hamilton's sawing and boring machine, and Wiswell's spoke machine". The article quotes a writeup from a committee of the American Institute, which mentions that Hoe & Co. was manufacturing these machines for the New York market, and rights were available for other territories. The Hamilton machine sold for a whopping $350, and requires about 2 horsepower worth of water-power to run. |
