ADOT DBE - Disadvantaged Business Enterprise *Only one coupon per person per year Pieh Tool Company, Inc. 1-888-743-4866 1 About the President Many people ask me how I ended up selling horseshoes and blacksmith supplies. Their second question usually is: "Why did you pick Camp Verde, Arizona?" It's a simple story… In 1960, seven years before I was born, my father Bill and mother Bonnie started Centaur Forge, Ltd. I grew up knowing blacksmiths and shoers. Didn't everybody? Dad and Mom's passion for taking care of the folks who depended upon them brought them success in their business. They also made a lot of friends. As far as my parents were concerned, 'caring' was a hundred and ten percent effort. It was always their goal to provide the widest selection of products from books to anvils for the best value. That stuck with me. That passion for caring stuck with me when I joined the United States Air Force and became a safety inspector on aircraft. After I separated from the military I continued as a metallurgical inspector in the aerospace, fossil fuel and nuclear power industries worldwide. When my father became seriously ill and died in 2000, I moved back to Wisconsin to help at the company. Not long after, my mother also passed away. In the two years I worked at my parents' company, I realized that there was more to my returning home than just helping out -- I was carrying on a forty-year family tradition. Everyday when I awakened I could hardly wait to get to the office. Centaur Forge's customers had become my parents' friends, and their friends were quickly becoming my friends too. Just like my parents, I wanted to be there for my friends when they needed me. I realized how much I loved this business. When the company was sold, I went back to work at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona, but I just could not walk away from the industry or the customers who had now become my friends. I asked for and received loads of advice from a lot of folks. I prayed a lot. Then one day I visited Camp Verde. Looking across the western landscape I thought, “You know Amy face it, you miss the blacksmith and horseshoe supply business and the people. You like the wide-open spaces here. And the neighbors are terrific. Dad and Mom would be very proud that I established a business and carried on the traditions they practiced over four decades.” Just then there was this little voice that whispered out of nowhere. "You can do it Amy, right here." And well, what can I say? Welcome to Pieh Tool Company! It is hard to believe we celebrated our 10 year anniversary and also opened a second store in North Phoenix just last year! Pieh Tool Company is my dream in the making. It is my 'thank you' to two of the most wonderful people I ever knew, Bonnie and Bill Pieh. My Chief Director and son, William Theodore, my staff and I look forward to your visit at our store for a cup of coffee.

But it appears they were invented sometime in the Middle Ages to protect the hooves of horses used by soldiers to travel over rough terrain, as often the hooves were compromised when horses were kept in stables standing in their own waste. In this day and age most owners continue to keep their horses shod. After all, this has always been customary — can you remember back to a time otherwise? Why do people shoe their horses? The answer is always the same: most horse owners assume that their horse’s hooves are too weak and too sensitive to go unshod.

  • The Care and Preservation of Historical Silver by CLARA DECK, CONSERVATOR REVISIONS by LOUISE BECK, CONSERVATOR
    The Care and Preservation of Historical Silver BY CLARA DECK, CONSERVATOR REVISIONS BY LOUISE BECK, CONSERVATOR Introduction Historical silver can be maintained for years of use and enjoyment provided that some basic care and attention is given to their preservation. The conservation staff at The Henry Ford have compiled the information in this fact sheet to help individuals care for their objects and collections. The first step in the care of all collections is to understand and minimize or eliminate conditions that can cause damage. The second step is to follow basic guidelines for care, handling and cleaning. Most people know that silver is a white, lustrous metal. Pure or “fine” silver is called “Sterling” if it is made up of no less than 925 parts silver to 75 parts alloy. Sterling will thus often have ‘.925’ stamped somewhere on it, as an identifier. Silver objects, especially coins and jewelry, contain copper as an alloying metal for added hardness. The copper may corrode to form dark brown or green deposits on the surface of the metal. Silver is usually easy to differentiate from lead or pewter, which are generally dark gray and not very shiny. Silver is often plated (deposited) onto other metallic alloys, almost always with an intermediate layer of copper in between. The earliest plating process, “Sheffield Plate” was developed in England in 1742. By the mid-19th century, the process was largely replaced by electroplating (which used less silver). The base metal in plated artifacts may consist of any of the following metals or alloys: copper, brass, “German silver” or “nickel silver” (50% copper, 30% nickel, 20% zinc), “Brittania metal” (97% tin, 7% antimony, 2% copper), or a “base” silver containing a high percentage of copper.
