[MassHistPres] About sources for pressed tin

[james hadley]

While restoring an historic tin ceiling our conservator (Rika Smith- McNally) found the ONLY shop in North America - we believe - that will duplicate historic tin ceiling sections from samples of the ceiling. The shop is:
Brian Greer's Tin Ceilings
1572 Mannheim Road
RR2 Petersburg
On Canada NOB 2H0
519 743-9710

Here is one from a favorite blog, After-Dinner Design:
 
For those of you considering repairing your tin ceilings, or for those of you considering installing them, these are your guys: 


The Standard Tinsmith 
335 Irving Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11237
718-821-4500


According to the people at The Standard Tinsmith, our ceiling is called "Delicate Daisies" which isn't the first thing that comes to mind in my building, but I'm willing to embrace it. The best part is that their prices are literally HALF of Home Depot's, so we were able to pick up a 2'-0 X 4'-0 sheet for less than $20.00, versus the 2' X 2' sheets from HD that cost the same amount, and weren't even Delicate Daisy patterned!
