1838?-50+. Made try squares, sliding T-Bevils (sic), guages (sic) and rules (wood and ivory). All the sliding T-bevels I have are marked with the maker name and location on one side and have a brass symbol on the other. The try squares are marked the same as the sliding T-bevels, however they don't have the brass device. See the Price List page for their complete line.

An 1851 map shows the factory located on Mill Street next to William Stroud's foundry. Pameachea creek flows by the factories. Mill Street is off South Main Street.

Mark on a try and bevel squares "NELSON & HUBBARD / MIDDLETOWN C^{T "}

The Nelson & Hubbard tool has the same brass device as the M. Nelson. The maker mark is on the opposite side.
