1 gen 1700 anni - brasier

Descrizione:

One who works in brass. There were brasiers in parts of Yorkshire from the Middle Ages eg. 1551 <i>John Langge als Potter, brasenner,</i> York (YRS11/106). Some cutlers employed brass, especially when making buttons and knife handles, for example Luke Winter who in 1720 had <i>10 lb of brass … brass hafts, </i>Sheffield (IH). The references to the occupation in Sheffield are late: 1700 <i>Richard Wostenholme, brasier</i>, Sheffield (PR4/177) but those mentioned after <i>c</i>.1750 were possibly involved in the silver-plating industry.
