DID YOU KNOW? SOME FUN FACTS ABOUT JACOB BROMWELL?

As one of America's early manufacturing pioneers, our company holds many distinctions as unique as our name:

Jacob Bromwell? is the oldest housewares and kitchenwares manufacturer in North America (founded in 1819 and incorporated in 1883 as The Bromwell Brush and Wire Goods Company).
Our company is the oldest manufacturer of tin and stainless steel products in the United States, and the 34th oldest continuously owned and operated company in the United States. In fact, we have been family owned and operated for over 19 decades.
We work with a variety of authentic materials, including steel, stainless steel, tin, aluminum, copper, wood, iron, and leather - all sourced domestically.
In keeping with the authenticity of the brand, our logo is our founder's actual signature, made with his own hand.
With millions of units sold, the All-American Flour Sifter is our most famous and instantly recognizable product, and vintage Bromwell sifters are coveted by kitchen enthusiasts and collectors.
The Original Popcorn Popper, one of the oldest products in our line, was originally sold at a wholesale price of $3.50 for a gross.
Our company patented, manufactured, and marketed some of America's most popular and iconic housewares products, including the All-American Flour Sifter, Wonder Shredders, and Original Popcorn Popper - to name a few. Still today, the designs, manufacturing processes, and materials of these products remain virtually unchanged.
The company's original location was a six-story building in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio located at 181 Walnut Street. At the time, the company occupied all six floors and boasted over 1,000 products in its catalog, many of which won awards.
By the late 1800s, Bromwell operated 7 factories and had upwards of 1,000 employees in multiple states. As the largest business of its kind in the United States, it billed itself as having the largest capacity in the country.
The Bromwell Brush and Wire Goods Company was split in 1923. The fireplace division of the company was purchased by the Gerwe family, who opened a fireplace store in Cincinnati that is still open today called Bromwell's. It is now owned by the McClorey family and has been since 2005. The housewares and manufacturing portion of the company (this company!) was then based out of Michigan City, Indiana and renamed Bromwell Housewares.
In 2010, our brand was completely renovated, which included changing our name from Bromwell Housewares to Jacob Bromwell?. Inspired by our founder's personal story, we developed a rich and authentic brand experience based around the man himself, whose hard-working, inventive, and cheerful character shines through even nearly two centuries later.
Several original pieces of our machinery and equipment are part of a permanent exhibit at The Baltimore Museum of Industry.
All of our products are non-electric and continue to be manufactured in the USA. We have never outsourced our production to low-wage labor countries to reduce costs because we have faith in the creativity and productivity of American workers.
Today, Jacob Bromwell? operates manufacturing facilities in Indiana and Vermont and our products are sold at select specialty retailers throughout North America, Australia, Asia, and Europe.
Our diverse customer base includes homesteaders and environmentalists, hunters, fishers, cabin dwellers, the chronically nostalgic, celebrities, and even Hollywood set designers looking for period-correct pieces.
WE USE THE SAME AUTHENTIC MATERIALS SINCE 1819
All Jacob Bromwell? products are made with authentic materials, such as tin, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper, with the help of elbow grease and some pretty darned old machinery (which works just as well as the day it was built)! By using these materials, Jacob Bromwell? products remain 100% authentic from the day they were created. Sure, there are updated materials that could be used, but America's frontiersmen wouldn't have it any other way, and neither should you!

The following is a reply from Jacob Bromwell to our question – "Are your products Made in the USA?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
