Working Dates: 1846-?

They opened a harness shop with William P. Allison in the upper houses of Middletown. This area became the town on Cromwell in 1851. William M. Noble joined the company in 1849. It is unclear if the were making hammers at this time.

I have hammers marked M.R. & I.H. WARNER/CAST STEEL, I. WARNER, WARNER & NOBLE and Wm M. NOBLE.
