Description Advertisement showing the multi- and split-level factory "Jos. Oat & Son Copper Smiths" at 12, i.e., 232-234 Quarry Street. The name of the proprietors "Jos. Oat" and "G.R. Oat" adorn one of the lower window shutters. Several pieces of copper work, including cauldrons, a bell, and a distiller, line the front of the building on either side of the large, open entryway to the workshop. Within the shop, laborers hammer copper pieces, nail a crate shut, and work at a forge. Copper pieces surround the workers. At many of the upper windows, more workers toil on small pieces. In the street, a drayman loads a crate onto his horse-drawn vehicle not far from a fire hydrant. George R. Oat, entered his father's company, established in 1788 by his grandfather Jesse Oat, in 1843.
