The Jacob Bromwell company began in 1819 and for nearly two centuries they have been providing Americans with evocative items of nostalgic beauty and familiar, heritage design. People often turn to this company when they want something for a man; a gift that has the masculine feel we so appreciate in place of socks or tie pins (attention wives and girlfriends!).
Here are just some ideas from Jacob Bromwell. If your guy or buddy enjoys reading about Civil War History and loves a good chin wag about all things relating to America’s earliest days, especially over an open fire, then you will love Jacob Bromwell – where you’ll never hear the words “mass production” uttered together when it comes to these products.
Jacob Bromwell: A Bit of American History
The firm itself is a bit of US history. Its factory in Greensburg, Indiana, became part of the National Register of Historic Places more than three decades ago. You can see some of the original machinery on display in a museum of US history in Indianapolis and other museums around the United States. Kitchen appliances did not run on electricity and today’s items are made the same way: without wires, circuits, or fuses. None of their manufacturing is outsourced. They remain an American company through and through, ideal for the patriotic man who cares about such things and also covets an accurately-made but historic-looking acquisition.
In fact, according to their blog, numerous Jacob Bromwell pieces have been used in the movies, and they’re pretty sure they noticed the flasks in the recent blockbuster and Academy Award winning film, The Revenant.
New items authentically adopt old styles to create visually interesting but also practical and functional pieces. For starters, check out this video narrated by Liam Tower. Liam is the head coppersmith at Jacob Bromwell, who explains the process and reason behind everything they do. Once you watch this, you’ll want one of these heirloom products for sure!
