IMG_7929r Collins Co., Collinsville, CT. Connecticut 19th century ax factory.
The Collins & Company factory opened in 1826 with the purchase of an old gristmill and a few acres of land along the Farmington River in Canton. The company started small with eight men, each making eight axes per day. ... The emerging factory town became known as Collinsville.
The Collins Company Axe Factory, was a manufacturer of edge tools, such as axes, machetes, picks and knives. Collins machetes were the brand of choice in South America. Collins tools were used almost exclusively for the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and axes and picks made their way across the country to be used in the California Gold Rush. Admiral Peary carried Collins tools to the North Pole.
Typical of New England mills, the Collins Company axe factory was sited on a river (the Farmington), and their production was powered by utilizing the water's strength to turn turbines and power machines. The numerous old buildings ramble along the riverbanks intertwined by an intricate maze of sluices that run throughout the site. The company closed its doors in 1966, but the factory buildings stayed standing and are now rented out to local businesses

Una fra le più conosciute e antiche vecchie latterie è questa di Vicolo del Gallo e che appartiene alla Signora Anna. Siamo alle spalle di Piazza campo dei Fiori e questo posto è rimasto davvero fuori dal tempo. La presentazione dei prodotti è rimasta del tutto spartana, l'accoglienza qui, oggi, non è troppo calorosa , ma comunque cordiale. Si può domandare una tazza di latte e ti portano quelle caratteristiche grandi tazze, che si usavano una volta a casa. Sembra davvero di tornare indietro di 50 anni compreso il vecchio flipper che è in mezzo al bar. Sappiate che qui è tutto vecchissimo e profuma di storia, dalle tazze (come evidenti nella foto), passando per i cucchiaini , il bancone del bar, i vecchi frigoriferi e l’enorme collezione di lattine vuote: tutte rigorosamente “vintage”,. Potete stare sicuro che dopo un ‘ora qui dentro non rimpiangerete assolutamente i banconi ultramoderni dei bar attuali. Posso garantire , per esperienza personale, che negli anni ’70 tutto era identico a ciò che si vede ancora oggi. I tavoli in marmo e quelli in legno sono gli stessi. Le paste dolci sono sempre enormi e buonissime. Credo che questa antica latteria di Roma dovrebbe essere patrimonio dell’umanità . Per turisti e residenti è “obbligato” il passaggio, per respirare quelle atmosfere passate. Chiaramente il gioco è illusorio. Il set è rimasto lo stesso, ma l’atmosfera con l’ambiente fumoso (nei locali pubblici si poteva fumare), i tavolini di marmo pieni e principalmente gli interpreti sono enormemente cambiati. Allora, negli anni ’70 era realmente “ una fabbrica di sogni”.
One of the best known and oldest old dairies is this Vicolo del Gallo and that belongs to the Lady Anna . We are behind Piazza Campo dei Fiori and this place was really out of time. The presentation of products has remained quite basic, the reception here today , is not too warm , but still friendly . You can ask for a cup of milk and bring you the great features cups, which were used once at home. It really seems to go back 50 years including the old pinball machine that is in the middle of the bar. Know that everything here is very old and smells of history , from the cups ( as evident in the photo) , through the spoons, the bar , the old refrigerators and the huge collection of empty cans : all strictly "vintage " . You can be sure that after a ' now here you will not regret absolutely counters ultramodern bars today. I can assure you , from personal experience, that in the '70s everything was identical to what you see today. The marble tables and wooden ones are the same. The pastries are always huge and delicious . I think this old dairy in Rome should be the heritage of humanity. For tourists and residents is "forced" the passage , to breathe the atmosphere of the past . Clearly the game is illusory. The set remained the same , but the atmosphere with the smoky environment ( you could smoke in public places ) , the marble tables full and mainly interpreters are greatly changed. Then , in the 70s it was really, "Dreams' factory "
