You Make the World Better Hand Mirror

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.

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

Follow the delivered instructions for every component separately. Complete product-specific cleaning and storage instructions need confirmation for this item. Do not apply metal-care advice automatically to glass, mirror, wood, wax, adhesives or other attachments. Keep the item dry during storage and protect delicate surfaces from impacts and abrasive contact.

Origin, shipping and returns

Product-specific country of manufacture is not fully verified. The company’s Pennsylvania workshop and general American-craftsmanship statements do not establish the origin of this complete item. Metalwork, crystals, glass, wood, hardware and any other included components need separate evidence where applicable.
