Naugatuck Valley

 

	Birmingham Brass Company was the name of a factory producing brassware in Shelton Borough, Naugatuck Valley, Connecticut.  It would be interesting to know if they had any connection with Birmingham, home of the British brass industry in England.  ('The New England State, their Constitutional, Judicial, Educational, Commercial, Professional and Industrial History.

	A winder from an oil lamp.  It carries the name and a March 1885 patent in raised lettering.
	Another winder has the lettering stamped onto a flat disc.
	The factory, from an old advertisement.  Further information welcome.
