Found this one today after posting about the other ones I found years ago last night. Was quite funny, cause I was just telling my dad about them and then we find this one.

Back says "Art Metal Works Inc" "Newark N.J."

Also found a 1945 Wheat 10 feet from it, so I think it would be from the 40's? Although the site we were at is older than the 40's.

All I have been able to find on "The Art Metal Works" is that it was a company in Newark N.J. that was in operation from around 1900 to 1930. The company made all sorts of metal items. Sometime in the 1930's the company's name was changed to Ronson Art Metal Works when they begain making and selling lighters.
