Antique West Virginia Bricks


Unfortunately, I don't know the history behind these two bricks, other than what I can find online, or the reason my dad had these and passed them along.  However, it's worth noting that my dad was born in Spring Hill, WVA and raised in St. Albans, WV and had an uncle that lived in Morgantown, WVA, so there's definitely a West Virginia theme and tie here.  Sadly, when you lose a loved one, you also lose the history and the knowledge and the memories of times gone by.

They are unique for sure with each weighing about 9lbs each.  I would guess they don't make bricks like this any longer.
