Another Forum regular, Fred Zweig, was recently asked about the Vetcraft/Toronto mark.

I was able to provide him with this info, but it's all I have. Is there more out there?

"hammered metal items made by a Toronto firm by the name of VetCraft really stand out. Strong, interesting forms, heavy gauge metal, beautiful applied patinas and a high level of craftsmanship make these pieces comparable to the better known makers abroad." Skol, 1998, p. 17

I've never seen any pieces with this mark. Anyone else?

Vetcraft was presumably set up after WW1 to provide training and employment for returning Canadian soldiers. I think that it was set up by the federal government as there is still a Vetcraft statute on the books.
