The Littlestown Hardware and Foundry Company, Inc. began as a gray iron foundry on May 24, 1916. They are still in operation today in Littlestown, Pennsylvania, producing commercial aluminum castings.
Between the world wars, they began producing a line of heavy solid cast iron decorative items for the home including doorstops and bookends from 1920 to 1932. Their catalog featured over 40 designs, some of which were sculpted by a local artist living in nearby Wrightstown, Pa. In 1941, the price of their most expensive bookend was 80 cents per pair. During World War II, raw materials for bookends were not “essential” so bookend production ceased, and LITTCO began manufacturing products for the war effort.
