Eclipse Gas Stove Company in 1913
Joe Prinzivalle (1891-1949) started working at Eclipse Gas Stove Company in 1913. He was a molder in the foundry. He likely returned to that job after he finished his hitch in the US Army (8 June 1917 – 26 Sep 1919).
Joe, like many others, ended up with silicosis from working at that factory.Photo date is uncertain.
