I'm looking for a bit of history .I have an old 'Wilson Welder and Metals Co , NY NY . Arc welding transformer, 60cycle 220v, 31 amp. Model MCT 102-22
Can anyone tell me about when it was made ?.Must have been a major company and their catalogs of 1916 and 1923 are available online .Latest reference I've found is late 1940s. Located in Brooklyn , Bush Terminal ,my old town ! Mine must be 60 years old or more .Still works ! What happened to the company ?
General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.

Did you try calling the Chamber of Commerce in Brooklyn? They might have some information on the company. A local library's business section has also helped me out before trying to find out about extinct machinery companies.
