Description
Hand wrought pewter plate "Paul Revere's Ride" made by Wendell August Forge. It is almost 9" in diameter. There is a gouge in the back, as shown. From https://www.wendellaugust.com/our-story/: Wendell August Forge is America's oldest & largest, crafting hand-wrought ornamental metalware & elegant giftware since 1923. Founded by coal mine owner Wendell Mcminn August, he would engage a blacksmith in his mine to hand-forge door latches for his home. With that, the birth of a new business. 95 years later, as the world seemingly moves faster than ever, Wendell August Forge is continuously dedicated to crafting gifts of enduring beauty. Just like a painting, each piece has a story. Each one different. From the signature of the die engraver hidden in the design, to the mark of the craftsmen hammered on the back, each piece is a celebration of our craft, & we will never take that lightly. At Wendell August Forge, our expert artisans hand-etch original designs into a die. Each piece is then hand-wrought by skilled craftsmen, using an eight-step process with its roots in ancient metalworking techniques. Our metalcrafters take pride in their work so that you can be proud to both give & receive the gift of Wendell August. Instant gratification & mass production may have become the norm in our culture, but time-tested traditions & "Made in America" have never gone out of style at Wendell August Forge... & they never will.
