![]() THIS is a fascinating account of the company history from when the building was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. This is a book that John showed me about Comstock, Cheney & Co. I took a few pictures to document this wonderful conversation – there’s so much one can learn from a nonagenarian!! He worked on action parts and keys…for 50 years!! John, the son (91) (who, coincidentally was a steelworker for 34 years for USS) said that his father started at Comstock Cheney in the late 1800’s. He is 91 years old and his father, also named John Zanni, worked in Ivoryton, Connecticut for a company called Comstock, Cheney & Co, which merged with Pratt Read & Co in December of 1936. I tuned for a fascinating gentleman named John Zanni.
