Historical NotesWestinghouse baseball league trophy belonging to Albert Martinelli. Albert was born in 1900 and started working for Westinghouse at 17 years old. He eventually became the foreman of the printing department in Trafford. While working for Westinghouse he played in the company baseball league. The sewing machine was acquired while he worked at Westinghouse and was collected because it represents a later machine than we currently have in the collection. Martinelli died in 1950.
