Howard Roth was the consummate collector.With his enthusiasm for the material, perseverance, and competitive spirit, Howard rarely let a great piece of American iron get away.It seemed that no matter how early we would show up for the opening of an antiques show, inevitably there he was in his place atthe head of the line. The result of such single-mindedness is what you see todaythe finest and most comprehensive collection ofmostly 18th and early 19th century New England hearth equipment and both iron and signed bronze posnets to ever come on themarket.
Howard was not only an indomitable hunter-gatherer, but was equally intent on gathering knowledge about how, when, and where histhings were made and used. His untimely death cut short not only a life lived with passion, but his lifes worka book about Americaniron that he had been researching and writing for the better part of a decade. And while Howards failing health finally robbed him ofhis ability to keep collecting, he continued to work on his book to the very end. To our great misfortune, he was unable to completewhat he had devoted so much time and energy to: an exhaustive book on early American hearth equipmentits history and uses. Fornow, this catalog will have to serve as a humble surrogate for Howards unfinished business.
Our guess is that Howard would have wanted to dedicate that book and now, this catalog, to Judy, his devoted wife and partner,whose constant support he enjoyed throughout their 50 years of marriage and their lifetime of collecting. Without her, he could nothave lived the full life he enjoyedas a loving husband, devoted father, successful lawyer, and passionate collector and scholar. Hewill be missed.
Elliott and Grace Snyder
The following unedited statement, titled ACKNOWLEDGMENT, was written by Howard Roth,and dated Dec. 31, 2009. It is assumed that it was meant to be included in the comprehensive volume hehad planned: About 40 years ago, I experienced love at rst sight. It happened on an evening while accompanying my wife to visit a small antique show held in a countryschool north of Albany, New York. While my wife carefully picked and inspected, I busied myself by browsing among the genre of antiques and noticed anunfamiliar object that appeared to be an odd shaped long handled iron shovel leaning against the far wall of a booth. My eyes were transxed on this itemand I had to take a closer look. Indifference had suddenly been elevated to curiosity and I was drawn to this iron piece. As I got closer, I spotted a similar, but
much smaller iron whatever it was. By this time, the elderly dealer had noticed my interest, came over and started to explain that these items were ironpeels and how they were used. He had my attention and I found myself hanging on every descriptive word. At that point, a lifelong new interest was born. In retrospect, the iron peels were so simple and utilitarian, so pedestrian, but yet so appealing. The uncomplicated lines reected its utility and artistry andthat observation would guide me in collecting hearth equipment over the next forty years. Thank you anonymous country dealer who is probably long gone, but never forgotten. Now, after logging tens of thousands of miles and the family van, purchasing hundreds of pieces of hearth equipment and spending incalculable hourshaunting antique shows, ea markets and auctions, it is time to share the knowledge I gained and the pleasure of my collection. I am grateful for all the interesting people I have met in this quest and for the good friends I have made along the way, including my dear friend and mentor,the late Clara Jean Davis and her late husband, Stan, formerly of Hopkinton, New Hampshire to whom I respectfully dedicate this book. In particular, Iappreciate the camaraderie, thoughtful and challenging discussions and the seless sharing of information by many dealers, collectors and artisan friends
met through collecting who are most knowledgeable about metal hearth equipment and kitchen accessories. They include Grace and Elliot Snyder, RichardSmitty Axtell, Paul DeCoste, Roger Gonzales, Bill Bartley, Steve Kochenburger, Mark Allen, David Good, Marvin Elliott, Hollis Brodrick, John Kovacic andWalter Fleming. I am equally gra teful for the numerous other dealers and collectors, too numerous to list, who shared my passion for hearth equipment.
You have all enriched my life beyond measure which is the legacy of collection. I extend a special thanks to those individuals at the New York City HistoricalSociety and New York State Library who made available to meet their vast collections of written resource materials and were so helpful to me as I traveledthe path of research. I would like to sincerely acknowledge the splendid photographs of the collection of Samantha Allan, the countless hours ShannonBeaulieu and Kimberly A. Baker dedicated to typing this book, the detailed research by Lorraine Jermaine and the proofreading skills of Grace Snyder. Lastly, and most of all, my thanks to my wonderful wife, Judith, who has been constantly at my side for countless shows, auctions and shop visits, and whohas displayed an understanding of my passion, limitless patience, and offered the keenest observations, heightening my joy and dampening my disappoint-ments.
And to each of you who took the time to read this book I hope you nd the reading to be informative and enjoyable and I thank you for your interest.
