Aluminum Ware

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-401 -- More Projects »

At the Renninger's flea market in Mount Dora, Fla., host Ralph Kovel discovers hand-hammered aluminum. Learn about the makers, and see how to distinguish the hand -hammered items from the less desirable machine-stamped ones.

This piece was pressed, not hand hammered.

This one has a plate set in.

Here's a piece with a chrysanthemum design. Aluminiumware never tarnishes and is easy to maintain. Clean it with automotive chrome cleaner, and it will look brand new.

A Wendell August Forge ice bucket originally sold for $8. Today it goes for $100 because of its unusual design.

Here's an Arthur Armour piece. This was one of the famous maker's favorite motifs.

Prices are determined by the technique and the maker. Always make sure there's a maker's stamp on the back of the piece, as it adds to value.

Here's another type of aluminum from the Peg Hughes collection. Its machine-made and very retro. The whole set sells for $35.
