Charles C. Hubbard

Fred W. Hubbard.

Tools Made: Rules, squares, sliding T-bevels, spoke shaves and marking gauges. 

Working Dates: C1850-57+.  

      They had an ad in the Middletown Constitution in 1855 stating they were going to make rules exclusively. They were selling all the machinery for making try squares, gauges and sliding T-bevels.

     I have very little information on this company. Reported in the New London (CT) Daily Chronicle, Jan 9, 1856 a fire destroyed a building housing this company, Cooley & Co. and Chamberlain & Lewis Co. The buildings were on the corner of Church and Hamblin Street.   Map Y.

     Pictured is a try square.
