One of these manufacturers included Sanderson Brothers & Company, whose roots go back to Sheffield, England. In 1911 the Halcomb Steel Company of Syracuse, a producer of tool, stainless, and alloy steels, joined the Crucible family. In 1883 Crucible was the first steel mill in North America to use gas-fired melting furnaces for tool steel production. In 1906 Crucible became the first mill in the Western hemisphere to install an electric arc furnace. In 1907 Crucible created the first patented vanadium high-speed steel, and in 1955, it was the first company to commercially produce vacuum arc re-melted steels. The Crucible Steel Company’s Midland Works was located in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. 16” W 10.5” D 5.75” H Please note these measurements carefully and ask any questions before purchase.
