Ivy Vine Wall Hook

The Wicks have been in the metal trade since the early 1900s. My great-great-grandfather worked on the Statue of Liberty and my great-grandfather was a pioneer in the field of welding. He ran a welding shop and later a welding school during WWII where he and my grandfather trained welders in support of the war effort.

After the War, the family moved to Connecticut where they continued in the metal business - running a manufacturing company called Wicks Products.
