Rob Miller

A native Ohioan, Rob Miller has always been interested in the old ways and times of our forefathers. An early interest in muzzleloaders and history sparked the flame to becoming a tinsmith and gun builder. Going to Rendezvous and meeting different craftsmen he found his niche in Colonial lighting and trade guns of the Colonial period. Over the years he has researched lighting and firearms, striving to create duplicates of the originals that reflect the early time in our Country's history.

With wars of independence and westward expansion these implements of light and life were used daily by a hardy People and deserve to be made as good or better than the originals.

In a small shop in southeastern Ohio Rob carries on this tradition. Whether you need a decorative light for your home or for your period correct persona, you've come to the right place.
