Antique Upholsterer's Tack Cone, Workshop-Worn Character
A holdout from an old workshop, complete with its original tacks. This is how hardware used to be sold.
$38.00 Incl. Tax
This is an early 20th-century tack cone, a cardboard and tin container for an upholsterer’s hardware. With a striking logo of a tradesman at work and distribution cities from San Francisco to Kansas City, it’s a small but solid piece of American industrial history. The original cork is still in place, and the cone still rattles with its original tacks. The label is worn from years of use, and the tin ends have an honest patina. It’s a perfect bit of texture for a shelf, a desk, or an addition to a vintage tool collection. Built for a job, and it’s still on the clock.
