Ironmongery
Ironmongery originally referred, first, to the manufacture of iron goods and, second, to the place of sale of such items for domestic rather than industrial use. In both contexts, the term has expanded to include items made of steel, aluminium, brass, or other metals, as well as plastics. The term ironmonger as a supplier of consumer goods is still widely used in Great Britain, the US equivalent being "hardware store".

By the Middle Ages, skilled metalworkers were highly prized for their ability to crea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
