Everlast "Copper Line" Beverage Set, circa 1956

In 1932, Louis Schnitzer and Nathan Gelfman formed Everlast Metal Products Corporation, producing high-quality, hand-forged aluminum giftware. In an era of growing uniformity via factory production, the "made by hand" aspect of these products held an aesthetic appeal for consumers. Over the years, the company introduced various product lines, including "Solid Brass," "Solid Copper," (seen here) and "Pewter."
