Wendell August Forge is the only survivor of what was once a flourishing industry. In 1955, more than 100 companies made hand-hammered aluminum commemorative items, yet only Wendell August Forge remains in business today. Based in Grove City, Penn., this forge specializes in handcrafted gifts made in aluminum, bronze and other metals. Meet the men and women who pound out their living in the forge.
