Expressions Patriotic Inspiration Tray | America250 | Aluminum

Wendell August Forge began in 1923 in Brockway, Pennsylvania, when Wendell McMinn August and blacksmith Ottone Pisoni started making matching ironwork for August’s home. That practical commission grew into a decorative metalworking business. The company’s values center on skilled craft, preserving traditional techniques and creating gifts that mark family milestones. Its artisans continue the metalworking tradition in Pennsylvania, with production now in Slippery Rock.

Materials and finish

Aluminum. No unsupported alloy purity, recycled-content percentage, coating certification or food-contact certification is claimed. Photographed variations in lighting can change the apparent color of a metal finish; choose by the selected listing rather than assuming every item shown is supplied.

Care and storage

For the aluminum or pewter metal component, dust with a soft cloth. The maker permits a plain warm-water rinse followed immediately by gentle drying with a soft cloth. Do not use a dishwasher, cook in the piece or cut directly on the metal. Where food service is appropriate, limit use to cold food and use a suitable barrier for foods that may mark the surface.

Origin, shipping and returns

The matched supplier product description explicitly identifies U.S. manufacture for this item. This is a manufacturer declaration, not an independent origin certification.

Shipping for Expressions Patriotic Inspiration Tray (America250 Edition): the maker’s current policy lists USPS, FedEx and UPS dispatch from Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.

Returns for Expressions Patriotic Inspiration Tray (America250 Edition): the maker’s FAQ gives conflicting stock-item return windows of 90 and 100 days, while its dedicated returns page supplies no complete terms.
