This is for two Vintage Virginia Metalcrafters Brass Leaf Sculptures.
Brass footed Christmas Holly Leaf Sculpture that measures 4″ long x 1 3/4″ wide and weighs around 2+ oz. is signed VMC 3-35 and looks like the date copyright is 1940 something.
Footed Mulberry Leaf Sculpture is signed and reads CW Mulberry 3-27, looks like date copyright is 1948. Measures 5-1/4″ long by 3 3/8″ wide. Weighs around 10+ oz.
They are finely crafted pieces with beautiful workmanship and fine detailing, a trademark of the VA Metalcrafters. Found some fun info on Virginia Metalcrafters at bottom of page.
These are in good condition for age with average wear, tarnishing & imperfections and still look great!! Little history found at bottom of page of this great company!
Guessing made in the 40’s. Great Leaf Art!! Please check pictures for description and condition.
Additional Info:
Virginia Metalcrafters (VM) was founded in 1895 as the W. J. Loth Stove Company of Waynesboro, Virginia. (In 1890 it was called the Waynesboro Stove Company – still Mr. Loth.) They initially manufactured cast iron stoves and wood and coal heaters.
In 1938 Loth installed a brass foundry and Virginia Metalcrafters became the brand name of the company’s brass and iron giftware line. March 1, 1940 marked the first use of the VM Betty Lamp hallmark on their products. When brass was once again available after World War II, production was resumed and their gift line was expanded.
