Hollis, New Hampshire
Hollis was first settled by Anna and Peter Powers and their
children in 1731 and was incorporated in 1746. It was one of four townships
created from West Dunstable district. It was originally spelled Holles in honor
of the Duke of Newcastle and Secretary of State at that time. When Hollis was
incorporated, the town tax list comprised 54 families. By 1760, that number had
risen to over 105 families.
Hollis is a charming town in Hillsborough County. The town
center village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Hollis Village Historic District.
The front of the town’s custom ornament features the Hollis Public Library, the
City Hall, the Congregational Church of Hollis and the Hollis Monument, all
located right in the town square. The
back gives the geographic coordinates of Hollis.
If you're interested in creating a custom piece for your
company, town, church, or organization, give us a call and we can begin the
design process. We will discuss your idea or help you to develop a concept
which we then send off to our artists and they will give us a detailed sketch
of the ornament, which we send to you for approval. Our process continues with
the design being sculpted out of resin into a 3-D model. Pictures of this
sculpted piece then goes to the customer for review, and once it is approved,
we can create a vulcanized rubber mold for the ornament. After the mold is
created, we begin hand-casting the ornaments with our centrifugal casting
machine. Once the ornaments have cooled to raw solid pieces of pewter, they are
deburred, antiqued to bring out the detailing, buffed by hand, dusted,
inspected, ribboned, and packaged. Our custom ornament process takes around 6-8
weeks from an idea on paper to a batch of pewter ornaments in-hand.
