Fire Destroys Historic Grove City Forging Company Reports: Wendell August Workshop Total Loss
POSTED: 9:08 pm EST March 6, 2010 UPDATED: 10:40 pm EST March 6, 2010
GROVE CITY, Pa. -- A historic Pennsylvania metal forge that made ashtrays for the German airship the Hindenburg has been destroyed by a fire.
A spokeswoman for the Wendell August Forge workshop and gift shop in Grove City says Saturday afternoon's fire is thought to have started in the workshop, where lacquer was sprayed on bronze pieces. Spokeswoman Danielle Elderkin says all employees and customers escaped unharmed.
The Wendell August Forge had been in business since 1932 in Grove City, in the heart of scenic western Pennsylvania. Its building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Wendell August produces heirloom-quality personalized metal pieces. It says it made ashtrays for a 1936 Hindenburg flight and did custom work for Coca-Cola and Walt Disney.
Its business operations outside the Grove City location will continue.

For the record, I was not the "Joe" who posted the comment "That job sucks." But I wish I was.
