Historical Info:

Universal Statuary Corp was established in the 1930 and was a Chicago based manufacturer of plaster and chalkware goods. They worked on contract projects for Sears, Montgomery Wards and other retail stores. They were famous for their lamps, Indian and western statues and many more home decor products. The company continued to thrive throughout the 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's and was finally sold in 1980 to James Dorman. It was sold again and closed indefinitely in 1996.
