John Appleby

Hello. A few days ago you asked a question on the Miscellaneous Reference Desk and today I noted that no one had yet answered it. After a bit of searching, I was able to find the answers you were looking for. The questions for 8 FEB 2008 will be archived soon, so just in case you don't check back before then, I thought I would also post the answer here.

United States Patent 90,807

Issued to John Appleby

Issue Date: June 1, 1869

Current U.S. Class: 56/455

Patent details. Thank you for asking such an interesting question. I enjoy questions that not only teach me something about history, but also make me look a bit deeper than a simple Google search. That was fun. It seems that we don't have an article on John Appleby. Do you know enough information about him to start an article? SWAdair | Talk 07:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
