page 178 -- Rutland Stove Lining, J.A. Godfrey & Co., White sewing machines

updated 18 June 2019
<PREVIOUS PAGE      ~ index ~       NEXT PAGE>





Rutland Stove Lining was manufactured by Rutland Fire Clay Co., Rutland, VT beginning in 1883. Many of its products originally contained asbestos, which gave them outstanding fireproofing qualities.

By the way, the MesotheliomaLawyerCenter.org provides visitors with comprehensive mesothelioma cancer information, and helps asbestos victims recover money for medical treatment and other expenses.

The Rutland Historical Society has published an excellent
 leaflet on the corporate history of Rutland.

Reorganized in 2000, the company now markets a variety of quality asbestos-free goods as listed on its site, https://www.rutland.com/

Waterbury CT


J.A. Godfrey forgot to tell us where. Our memory suggests maybe, Switzerland?
We know it's not Waterbury, CT where Godfrey was located!





J.A. Godfrey loved to stamp the front of their trade cards!




The White Sewing Machine Company traces its origins back to Templeton, MA, where Thomas H. White founded the company in 1858.

a Google image search gives one an idea of the many styles of White machines...
They were both functional and works of art.
