Steel wool

From: Judy Jacob <*Judy_Jacob*> Date: Tuesday, July 13, 1999 · Judy_Jacob

I am looking for information on the manufacture of steel wool.  Does
anyone know when it was first used and when use became widespread?
Does anyone have early 20th c references for its use?  I am
especially interested in the history of its use for cleaning stone.
