Visit to a Victorian pressed tin factory that's been in continuous operation since the 19th-century

Be sure to find Sarah's books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/... Have you ever noticed the pressed tin which ornaments so many old buildings, the walls and ceilings of old factories and stores, and the kitchens in many historic homes? Ever wondered how it's made? In this video, Victorian-era experts Sarah and Gabriel Chrisman visit the W.F. Norman Corporation (214 North Cedar, Nevada, Missouri), which has been in continual operation making pressed tin panels, architectural ornaments, and more since 1892. This company started making pressed tin in the late 19th-century and they've been doing it ever since — even the Great Depression didn't slow them down, and they accomplished the remarkable feat of staying in business throughout the 1930's without letting go of a single employee. They're still using all their original equipment — presses, dies, etc. and the visit was a true step backwards in time!
