The history of EIMCO (Eastern Iron and Metal Co.) began as a pushcart scrap metal operation of Russian immigrant, Nathan Rosenblatt (b. 1866), in the late 1800s and grew into a "multi-faceted corporation which met the market demands of numerous manufacturing industries." The collection consists of oral history transcripts, an interview listing, interview sheets, and a history of EIMCO by Gregory C. Thompson and Allan D. Ainsworth.
