Antique Red Clay PRAY Brick, Robert E. Pray and Co., Greenfield MA

Regular price $50.00

This PRAY brick is the companion piece (in my mind) to the plaster Lady Victory mold I am posting today! These bricks were produced by Robert E. Pray and Co. of Greenfield, MA, founded in the 1840s and I believe in operation into the 1920s or so, with this red clay brick dating the late 19th/early 20th c. I think.  An excellent found object I'd say, with terrific font for the lettering, too, and which I like all the better for all of its irregularities and erosions--praying for relief from a life of hard work and hard knocks!  

8 1/4" x 3 1/2" x 2 3/8".  As found condition, well worn but completely sturdy and solid.
