## Description

The Made-in-Chicago Museum is a historical research project and brand committed to documenting and celebrating the everyday objects that were produced during Chicago's industrial peak in the 20th century. Originally starting as a small collection of rusty metal knick-knacks in Andrew Clayman's Uptown apartment, the project has now evolved into a comprehensive website focused on the histories of Chicago manufacturers. The project also includes a curated showcase with exhibitions at various historical societies and museums in Chicago. With nearly 400 industrial antiques and vintage wares on display, dating from 1900 to 1970, the museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's manufacturing heritage. From old advertising tins to tools, toy trains, telephones, and typewriters, each product tells a unique origin story and sheds light on the innovators, immigrants, entrepreneurs, and working stiffs who brought Chicago to the forefront of manufacturing. The Made-in-Chicago Museum ultimately aims to create a useful resource on Chicago's industrial history, emphasizing the human experience and the lasting legacy of the workers who contributed to the city's manufacturing success.
