Description: | These are some of the tools used to make and repair brass instruments. They include shapers for burnishing metal, hammers with many different heads and debruising balls for removing dents from instrument tubing. These tools were the property of William George Hathaway of London Colney and were used by him throughout his career as an instrument maker at the Salvation Army instrument factory. The factory supplied a full range of instruments to Salvation Army bands. Instruments were designed with heavier metal and thicker silverplating to stand up to heavy use, including the sometimes hostile attention that groups met with on street corners. In 1972, the factory was sold to Boosey & Hawkes. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work Leisure | Temporal: | circa 1950 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
