As a local historian, one place on my to do list has been L.F. Grammes & Sons Metal Stamping. I've always been waiting for a photograph of the large plant from the Union Street prospective. The front of the plant angled to conform to the turning road, as it approached the Jordan Creek. Recently, I did see a photo card from the Jordan Creek side of the plant, facing north.
Grammes made a large assortment of metal objects, both utilitarian and decorative, for almost a hundred years. They were mostly stamped out of metal, and many were then enameled.
In addition to decorative items such as small boxes, and their made to order items, such as badges, they also produced items promoting their business. Shown above is a promotional small measuring scoop.
ADDENDUM: This post is replicated on Allentown Chronicles where additional Grammes photos will be on display.
Nice read!
