I recently ran across a video about the restoration of a candy roller by Thomas Mills & Brother. The tool featured in the video was made in 1871. For more information about the company, check out this website: https://cleartoycandymolds.com/thos-mills-%26-bros

It’s restoration was quite the undertaking. I always imagine myself doing these types of restorations, but it is a lot more work than I give these guys credit for. They know exactly which tools to use and how to clean things up well. They do a great job bringing this tool to life again.
Thank you for reading my post.
