A bit of history..... As early as the 1800s, the Heintz Art Metal Shop and (1900s) Smith Metal Arts Co. began playing a significant role in the American Arts & Crafts movement, producing high-quality metalware that is sought after by collectors today. The companies were known for unique sterling silver ornamentation to other metals. In 1986, Smith acquired the McDonald Products Company, a former rival, and continues to operate today as the Smith McDonald Corporation. As of June 30 2025, the Smith McDonald Corp closed it doors.
