History
SENTENCE:
Stále častěji se ve vybavení domácností objevovalo kovové nádobí, zhotovované galanterními klempíři.
This was a time when metal workers had a new market niche, mid-19th century on metal objects appeared in the household, pales, baking pans, boilers, etc...this wasn't just classic metal working, but the name is maybe misleading, haberdashery was just part of their work, but in Czech it seems to cover all. Do we have a better equivalent to explained this "refined" metal worker?

Tinware was produced in Colonial America by artisans who imported tinplate from England or Germany, cut it into various shapes, formed the shapes, and soldered the pieces together to produce a container, scoop or some other useful article. These items were sold out of their shops in hamlets and villages, and in rural areas by itinerant Yankee peddlers who traveled the backcountry going door-to-door.It was this all-important division of labor that allowed specialization.

1. A whitesmith is another name for tinsmith. A worker in tin and light metals one who makes pots and pans and similar items from tin plate.
2. A whitesmith is also the name for someone who finished small items made from tin and other light metals. Often these were polished to fine finish to resemble silverware.
3. Whitesmith was also sometimes used for a silversmith who produced work without a recognised mark. "
