No. Awards were not given out like they are today. His cotton gin invention was copied because it was so simple to make and he didn't make any money from it. He went to court to protect his patent but the costs of court and other reasons deprived him of his profits. In 1789 he was granted a government contract to make 10,000 muskets using his new process of interchangeable parts. Although the concept of interchangeable parts wasn't new and didn't come in use until the machine tool industry was developed his factory at Mill Rock was the first to use the process. This time he did make money on his invention. When he finally died in 1825 he was a wealthy man and his firm was passed to his son. Eventually, this became the Winchester Arms Company.
