Virginia Metalcrafters (VMC) was a renowned American foundry based in Waynesboro, Virginia, celebrated for its high-quality hand-cast brass, iron, and pewter pieces. In 1951, VMC signed a prestigious license with Colonial Williamsburg to produce authentic brass and iron reproductions. This relationship lasted decades and established VMC as the primary manufacturer for numerous historic sites, including Mount Vernon, Charleston, Monticello, and the Smithsonian Institution. Virginia Metalcrafters ceased all operations and closed its foundry doors in December 2006.
