Description
Charles A. Peavey and James H. Peavey were the grandsons of Joseph Peavey, inventor of the peavey logging tool that combined a solid socket cant hook with a pike to create a reliable, versatile tool used by workers in the logging industry.
Demand for the tool was such that the business quickly outgrew Peavey's blacksmith shop in Stillwater and relocated to Old Town. Following Joseph Peavey's death, his grandsons moved the company to Exchange Street in Bangor. The Bangor Edge Tool, Co. shared a forge with Job Collett, manufacturer of files and rasps. The company continues to operate today under the name Peavey Manufacturing, Co., in Eddington, Maine.
