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. |
