A Tradition of Craftsmanship Fall/Holiday 2008

Our Heritage. Your Heirloom. Handcrafted in America…Since 1923

Heritage…a word that has almost lost any meaning at all in the busyness of life in the 21st century. However, at Wendell August, the word Heritage still carries with it significance and meaning. You see, for 84 years we have handed down from one generation of craftsmen to the next the time honored tradition of metalworking known as repousse. Our founder, Mr. Wendell August, worked with great American artisans with names such as Donato, Rossi, and Pisoni. Today, our artisans and craftsmen have names such as Bruck, Youngo, McBane, Royer, and Summerville and they carry on the Heritage of handcraftsmanship begun by Mr. August and his band of Italian immigrants. From our Heritage, we create your Heirlooms, which have been handed down from family member to family member. We’ve commemorated births and weddings together. We’ve shared other important milestones and events with you as well. We thank you for keeping alive our little slice of American Heritage…and for the privilege of continuing to handcraft your family Heirlooms.

An American Tradition Our two master die engravers have been creating our beautiful designs in metal for a combined total of almost 50 years. Their attention to detail is unparalleled and is reflected in the fact that they look through their collection of chisels to find just the right one that will make just the right cut in the metal that will reflect just the right hue on the finished piece of giftware. Because they know that this attention to detail is important to you… Today, the tradition of American handcraftsmanship is alive and well in the workshops of Wendell August.

Leading a Renaissance of American Craftsmanship

When Wendell August founded our company in 1923, American craftsmanship flourished throughout the land. Domestic artisans and small workshops created much of the giftware for homes in the United States. How times have (unfortunately) changed. But here at Wendell August, we are committed to preserving old fashioned American values and virtues of artistry, handcraftsmanship, and quality. In the image at left, you see one of our craftsmen applying the Wendell August hand stamp and his personal “signature”. Bucking the trend and hopefully inspiring others…Made in America, one-at-a-time by hand is still flourishing in the Ohio and Pennsylvania workshops of Wendell August Forge.
