1) 11.5". Colusa Parrot Mining & Smelting Company. Anaconda. Beautiful red star. Tan trim. 2) 11.5". Tuttle Manufacturing and Supply Company. Anaconda. Incorporated in 1890. "Daly, of the Anaconda Mining Company, recognized the logic in controlling all aspects of copper production, including auxiliary industries. By the mid-1890s, ACM owned such subsidiaries and departments as an ore-hauling railway, an electrical power and street railway company, and a brick factory. Daly also realized the need for another component to his system - a foundry and machine shop plant. Several factors probably encouraged construction of a foundry. In 1889, ACM completed a new addition to its smelter facilities, called the Lower Works. The sheer size of ACM's operations created a demand for foundry and machine shop products that local independent manufacturers could not meet. Products from distant foundries cost more than those produced locally, and long-distance railroad transportation inhibited fast delivery of essential parts.Exactly when Daly made the decision to build a foundry is unclear, but some time before 1890, he had joined forces with an industrial contractor named Shelley Tuttle and began planning for the new factory. They chose a 30-acre tract on the southeast edge of Anaconda, abutting the foothills of nearby Mt. Haggin. When completed, the complex included a foundry, machine shop, boiler and blacksmith shop, pattern shop, warehouse and storage facilities, and an office. It eventually evolved into the Anaconda Foundry Fabrication Company." [Anaconda Foundry Fabrication Company website] City: Anaconda State: Montana Date: ID: 37215
