Lot 317


It is marked on the bottom. It has a knight finial, Chicago Hardware Foundry Co.which made it's products in it's sprawling works in North Chicago (a small town about 40 miles north of regular Chicago) and founded in 1897. Over the years, anything animal-shaped coming out of the North Chicago foundry was usually attributed to Harper Supply and its president, James M. Harperwho is best remembered for his highly collectable figural coin bank designs. When E. P. Sedgwick (1867-1935) and John Sherwin (1859-1921) organized the Chicago Hardware Foundry Co. in the spring of 1897, it was under somewhat rebellious circumstances. Up until the previous year, both men were in the employ of an already flourishing North Chicago factory: the Chicago Hardware Manufacturing Co. Sedgwick, at age 30, had worked his way up to plant superintendent, while Sherwin, at 38, was the foreman.
