In 1880, a puddler was a worker in the iron and steel industry responsible for a process called puddling, which involved refining pig iron into wrought iron. This was done in a furnace where the iron was melted and stirred to remove impurities, allowing for the production of higher-quality iron. Puddling was a labor-intensive process that required skill and experience, as it involved carefully managing the temperature and oxygen levels during refining.
