<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 42374, member: 44"]Just a little more info that you really don't need and doesn't answer your original question on style. The Robert Emig Co. of Reading, PA was founded in 1945 and was still in operation in 1970. The company did the designing of the reproductions and contracted the manufacturing out to foundries in Boyertown, Pottsville, Dougale Springs, Lancaster County, and New York City. The finishing - cleaning, machine assembling, painting, decorating and packing - was done at the Reading Company before shipping. They did reproductions (novelty and decorative items) from the colonial period/Early American, Pennslyvania Dutch, to Mediterranean-style, etc... Materials ranged from cast iron to aluminum. Items such as trivets; lamp brackets; plant stands; miniature planters in the shapes of stoves, coffee grinders, bathroom items, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
