At the turn of the century Allen
Street on New York's Lower East Side was known as "Brass Town" for the
proliferation of fine metalworking being done there by the Jewish Immigrants from Russia
and Poland. This area of New York is now an extension of Chinatown.
Where once hundreds of Jewish Immigrant metalsmiths were busy at their craft in over 300
shops, now there are none.
As the millions of Immigrants adapted to the New World, modern life, and the advent of
electricity, many Russian antique items made by the Immigrants were put away and forgotten, some traded,
some pawned, some sold and some simply left behind.
