History of H. Carter & Son

The Iron Age, Vol. 11, No. 4, 23 Jan. 1873, pg. 10
H. Carter & Son was a mid-1870s manufacturer of tools for foundry molders and plasterers. We have found references to the firm between 1870 and 1877. They were operating at 290 Pearl St., New York City, in 1873. Another product they made was J.W. Bemis's patent carriage jack.

At least one Carter molding tool has sold in recent years, according to WorthPoint.
