This example of Onondaga Metal Shops has been
confused for Gustav Stickley many times. I have seen these at different
auctions and shops on and off the web attributed to Gus because
of the lack of a signature. The execution is closer to Gustav Stickley
than Benedict Studios. After the company was purchased by Harry
Benedict the production of these changed slightly and under H B
direction were nearly always marked. It measures 20 5/8" in
diameter. |

foremost artisan in iron. He started his business in 1909 and
he called himself a blacksmith. Others referred to him as a genius,
a devil with a hammer in his hand. His business set the highest
standards in design and craftsmanship.

This is a fireside coal box probably produced
in England during the Arts and Crafts period. It is made of copper
plated steel and polished, as they typically were and mounted on
four steel casters with wheels. Would be nice next to a fireplace
holding kindling wood or paper for starting fires. Measures 15
3/4 inches tall x 20 inches wide x 12 inches deep. |

OMS or Benedict fire place cover. Originally this was a cover that fit
into the opening of a fireplace that measured 26 1/2" square. I had an oak frame made so that it was free standing. It is hammered copper with and hammered iron frame and now measures 37" tall x 30 1/4" wide x 13" deep. This would look great in front of a large fireplace when not in use. |

are 3 3/4". |
