Vetcraft Shops Mark
Q: We have a very old hammered copper vase. The mark on the bottom is a triangle with a half sun and a fist holding a hammer. Any help would be appreciated.
A: Your copper vase was made by Vetcraft Shops of Toronto, Canada. This was one of several workshops set up by the Department of Soldiers Civil Re-establishment in Canada to provide jobs for disabled veterans of World War I. Vetcraft Shops were in business from about 1919 to 1925. Other workshops made furniture, toys, and the poppies that were given out on Memorial Day.

We have a great Vetcraft hammered brass chamberstick. It is odd in that it has an approximately quarter inch bar across the candle cup, just a half inch or so below the top of the cup. I’ve had to cut a notch in the candles I use in it to get them to fit. Does anyone know why it has this bar placed there? Thanks!
