Why did the rag man collect rags in new Orleans?
As I lay sleeping, I had such a dream of the Rag Man of my childhood! It was so hauntingly real that I grabbed my iPhone to look it up! I can still see the old Colored Man as he came thru the neighborhoods of Mid-City, calling out “rag man” and I can hear the clip- clop of his mule as he drove the old wooden wagon down the streets. Times were so different back in the war years, and every now and again I am fortunate to be blessed with these very old memories that I grew up with. Patricia Altobello Corona
What is a rag and pot man?
A rag and pot man was a rag gatherer who exchanged pots for rags, bones, old glass etc. In the morning the rag gatherer would collect earthenware pots and pans from the rag merchant. With these he would walk round - often as much as twenty miles - calling at likely houses to exchange pots for rags etc. At the end of the day he returned to the rag merchant's and was paid a few pence if the rags he had collected were worth more than the pots he had given out. In 1849 1/6d (7.5p) was regarded as a very good return for a day's work.
