Everlast "Forged Grape" Punch Bowl Set, circa 1941
Add to SetSummary
In 1932, Louis Schnitzer and Nathan Gelfman formed Everlast Metal Products Corporation, producing high-quality, hand-forged aluminum giftware. In an era of growing manufacturing uniformity, the "made by hand" aspect of these products held an aesthetic appeal for consumers. The owner of this punch set -- thought to be a General Motors executive -- allegedly had the aluminum tray and lid custom made by Everlast.
