History

We've partnered with General Machinery & Mfg. Co. of Chicago to revive these unique vintage parts--some of which have not been produced since the 1940s. Learn more about these vintage parts by reading about our suppliers.

This particular configuration was made from steel stamped in Chicago and then plated or painted by Sterling Casket Hardware in Virginia.

The first thing you will notice when you receive these parts is that the steel is higher quality and heavier gage than many similar brackets made by others.
