Description
Heller Bros Co. Newark New Jersey USA Horse Rasp/File.
An enterprising German immigrant named Elias Heller started his small shop in Newark, New Jersey around the mid 1800's. With its original crew of three, this shop made hand files and rasps.
By the mid-1860's, three of Elias's sons - Elias George, Peter and Lewis - had entered the business and worked to build what their father started. Under their leadership, Heller was one of the first file manufacturers to use machines to make files, and Heller was one of the first American brands recognized to be as good as the European imports.
