The Jacob Bromwell Origin Story
Back in 1819, Jacob Bromwell had an idea: create the highest quality cooking, baking, and campfire products that American families could count on to last generations. So he traveled from his home in Baltimore, Maryland, to set up shop in Cincinnati, Ohio. His factory manufactured everything from flour sifters, cheese graters, and frying pans, to buckets and popcorn poppers. Today, this all-American company is recognized as America’s Oldest Cookware™. All Jacob Bromwell products continue to be handcrafted in the USA and are backed by a Lifetime Guarantee.
