By 1900, Revere & Son had merged with the Taunton-New Bedford Copper Company, located in New-Bedford, Massachusetts. Revere’s early products included skillets with heavy copper bodies, straight sides, and flat uninsulated iron handles. The first aluminum cookware was introduced in 1892 by Pitsburgh Reduction Company (later renamed ALCOA). Stove-top and oven-ware were typically heavy (made from cast iron, copper, or bronze), while lighter tinware (made from several pieces of pressed copper which were then soldered together and tin plated) was used for kettles, cups, and tableware.
Revere began producing cookware in 1892, when little thought was given to design, other than to make it functional.
and finally a foundry owner – manufacturing copper/brass/bronze castings for ships (bells, cannon, fittings, nails, spikes, etc.) and rolled copper sheets (cladding, applied to the hulls of wooden ships). Prior to 1800, Paul Revere was first a master silversmith, then a patriot general in the Revolutionary War. This photo guide has proved invaluable over the year and is much of what we now know about the history of Revere Ware products. He sold his cookware on eBay branded as NTN – next to new and they really did look as good as new. His restoration process was labor intensive but meticulous. For many years before we started collecting and providing information, and selling replacement parts, Charlie meticulously and painstakingly gathered this information on the history of Revere Ware, and provided a service to refurbish Revere Ware cookware and Bakelite parts.
