Memorandum / Invoice to a Mr. W. Arnolds of Kincardine asking him to secure payment in the amount of $12.50 from a Malcom Arnold of Arnow.
Maxwells Limited was a foundry first established in Paris, Ontario in the late 1800's. The business moved to St. Marys Ontario in 1888, where it became known as David Maxwell & Sons or simply Maxwell & Sons. In its heyday, it employed over 100 people and was the largest factory in Perth County. The two-storey building was 250 feet long, with another wing 200 feet long. The first floor was for machine work with storage in the wing and basement. Painting and finishing were done on the second floor. Three shorter wings, each 150 feet long, contained a wood shop, blacksmith shop and moulding shop. Initially, farm equipment was the main focus, but eventually it produced plows, harrows, scufflers, binders, hay mowers, tedders, sulky rakes, hay loaders, root cutters, corn shellers, ringer washing machines, lawn mowers, food grinders and churns. During World War II, production was devoted to the manufacture of hand grenades. Following the war, it was unable to compete and ceased operation in 1964. The factory was demolished in 1987.

About Us
I take pride in bringing The Uncommon, The Hard to Find, The Unusual and often The Rare to the incredible eBay Market. An inordinate amount of time, effort, travel, money and an ever-growing network of suppliers have all combined to make this possible.I find, bring, research, photograph and describe a vast array of items and present them for your collecting pleasure. The small S&H fee attached to every item covers this. After five + years & my feedback nears the 6,000 mark & I have not tired, nor lost my enthusiasm for this fascinating quest and continue to derive a great deal of satisfaction from the happiness I bring my buyers. Some of the rare Military Items I have found are now housed in Museums at Klerken in Belgium and Cambrai in France as well as Museums in Italy and Canada.
Just a brief note on images: All photography is done using Pentax Equipment, Elinchrom Lighting and the experience of many years as a Professional Photographer. I am glad to share my knowledge and help others: just ask.
