Used Brown & Boggs Machines

In 1872 Samuel J. Moore, doing business as S. J. Moore, began making tinners' and canners' tools and machinery. That business was possibly descended in some way from Hamilton foundry and sheet metal maker Dennis Moore & Co. At some point S. J. Moore reorganized as S. J. Moore & Co., by which time the business had expanded to encompass a line of sheet metal machinery. In 1890 the business was acquired by John Mootry Brown, Nathan Glass Boggs, James Anderson, and Willard Ernest Blandford, and reorganized as Brown, Boggs Co., Ltd. Mr. Boggs had apprenticed at Moore, and both Boggs and Brown were journeymen there. We don't know anything about Anderson or Blandford. The company continued to specialize in manufacturing sheet metal machinery, and remains in business today, having moved to Ancaster and 1996 and then to Toronto in 2006.
