Vintage Virginia Metalcrafters Heavy Solid Brass Mayapple Leaf Stamped Copyright 1948
A little history on VMC:
“Perhaps the greatest American brass company of the 20th century was Virginia Metalcrafters. The company started as a stove manufacturer. Begun by William J. Loth as the Waynesboro Stove Company, it was born at a time when there were many regional iron foundries and stove makers. As electric appliances took over, most of these companies shut down, unable to adapt. However, Virginia Metalcrafters figured out a way to survive. In 1936, it became Virginia Metalcrafters, selling unique household items to that new, sensational American tourist attraction, Colonial Williamsburg.“
