Vintage Cast Iron
Antique Cast Iron Advertising Plate (Philadelphia)
$250.00
-
DetailsA very rare find and a real antique piece of Philadelphia History.
This 3 pound cast iron plaque is a curious find. It seems to be a plate that has been taken off a piece of machinery. Something called a Lo-Hed Trolley Hoist. I found a few old paper catalog advertisements for Lo-Hed products dated to the 1930s with this same exact logo. Lo-Hed Hoists were a product of the AMERICAN ENGINEERING COMPANY.
There is little info to be found on LO-HED after the 1930s except that they were based in Philadelphia. The below text was taken from an old machinery catalog I found while searching for the company. If you google "Lo-Hed" and "Philadelphia" you should be able to find the same machinery catalog advertisements.

Main office and factory was located at 2411 Aramingo Avenue, Philadelphia, PA.
