Chase Brass & Copper Company did some amazing things during its early existence. Chase was a major producer of industrial brass and copper products. But during the 1930s, the company developed and marketed a line of housewares and gift products sold through stores across the country. Many Chase products incorporated the clean, modern style so prevalent during that era. Chase commissioned important industrial designers of the era to develop products for the line, including Walter von Nessen, Russell Wright, Ruth Gerth, Lurelle Guild, and Rockwell Kent, representative of some of the best design talent available at the time.
