Old Newbury Crafters
Old Newbury Crafters
American, established 1915
In 1915, "spoonman" Elmer Senior and "polisher" Albert MacBurnie, started in business as a partnership under the name Old Newbury Crafters in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
Workshops were located at 364 Merrimac Street, at a location where once had stood the iron workers shop of the great Currier and Townsend Shipyard. In 1979, the company relocated to neighboring Amesbury, Massachusetts and ownership was acquired by Don Brady, a businessman from Greensboro,NC.
The business continues to be housed in the three-story, red-brick mill building at 36 Main Street, Amesbury, but ownership once again changed hands in January, 1998, when Connecticut businessman, Peter Dooney acquired the company.
