Beginning in the 1940's both companies manufactured fine pewter reproductions for the Colonial Williamsburg Restoration Foundation. This continued after the buyout of Kirk Stieff by Lenox and ended altogether at the turn of the 21st century. Their products for several American historical sites and homes are prime collectables.
