When we study the material culture of any time, special attention is paid to the different lives that an object has from its manufacture to its recycling. Through series of documents from different records, we will try to analyse the work of one of the professionals of the second-hand market: the scrap metal dealer. In the same way, we will try to understand the social image of a group that was frequently close to marginality.
