- Long ago a lot of travellers visited our doors. One day a man came to our door, named James Tobin. This man could make Cream-Tubs, and Keelers, and he could also put hoops on old ones.
Martin Kelly was another man who could sharpen Razors, Knives, Reaping Hooks, Scythes, and the blades of a Mowing Machine.
John Ringsrose was another man. He used to make Tea-Pots, quarts, and little mugs out of tin. That man was called a "Tin Smith".
Other men visited us too, but they only asked for a copper.- Collector
