Hammered aluminum hollow ware by EVERLAST is the successful result of the American Dream. Founded by two Russian immigrants in the 1910's as the Western Silver Novelty Company, they produced silver and chrome plated novelty items. As the Great Depression of the 1930's took hold of the United States and demand for high-end silver items fell, the founders reinvented their strategies and looked to the cheaper, more economical metal Aluminum as their muse. In 1932, the brother-in-laws formed Everlast Metals Products Corporation and began applying their artistic abilities to a new line of hand forged household products. Successful for almost 30 years, the new popularity of plastic and ceramic housewares resulted in the partners closing Everlast in 1961, but not before obtaining the success of producing some of the most popular and demanded products ever produced by an American company.
