Grover and Baker

Grover and Baker appears in The Invention Invention as one of the sewing-machine companies involved in the nineteenth-century patent war. The source names the company among the firms that sued or were sued over overlapping sewing-machine patents.

Grover and Baker later joined the Sewing Machine Combination, making it part of the source’s first Patent Pool case.
