Description: | This bench was used at the Alaska fur factory during the process of 'pulling the pelt', in which animal skins were pulled across upright knives to make the pelt supple. The firm Martin-Rice owned the Alaska factory which employed a skilled workforce, trained to perform specific tasks in the fur-dressing and dyeing processes. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1925-1955 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
