label: Description
content: James P. Allaire founded Allaire Iron Works, in New York, NY, in 1816, and purchased Howell Iron Works, located in present-day Farmingdale, Monmouth County, NJ, in 1822. Since Allaire Iron Works specialized in marine steam engines, it is possible pots marked "ALLAIRE" and "HOWELL" were both made in New Jersey.
