The original factory burned down in 1846. I guess if something works, keep using it.

That is definitely cool. Hopefully I will remember to stop by there if I'm ever in the neighborhood again.
Also from the video - the average life of a baseball in MLB is four pitches. I would have guessed longer than that.

Here's another article about the S&D Spinning Mill. It shows more pictures of the ancient machines the still use.

That is just so damn cool. I rarely read something on the internet that legitimately warms my heart, but that's one of them.

An update on this company. The company was sold to an entrepreneur in June 2023 from Wisconsin. The mill was to be converted into luxury condos. (just what we need around here) That plan fell through. The building is up for sale again.
