Tin Smiths/Makers
This page updated September 11, 2009
Tin smiths were obviously men who fashioned items made of tin. This usually included various forms of cooking utensils and pots as well as other items. Many of the smaller kitchen tools used by our ancestors were fashioned by these workers such as cookie cutters, cake/milk pans, etc. Most of these items were sold to the lady of the house by way of the tinner traveling through a community in a wagon.
