Brewster & Company of New York, NY, was one of the foremost carriage builder in the United States and the world. For every carriage order taken for a vehicle, a detailed record was made, describing the order information and specifications for the vehicle in detail. Each vehicle was given a vehicle serial number, a very important piece of information for people who own, collect and restore Brewsters..
In cooperation of the New York Public Library's Manuscripts and Archives Division, the Carriage Museum has scanned and categorized Brewster records #17450-25903 from the library collection. These records are now available for access online to CAA members only. (Click here to join.)
