Prior to 1914 just about all high-end sculptural artwork was solid bronze. About that time a company called Kathodian Bronze Works began manufacturing small sculptural artwork such as bookends (back then they were called “book rocks”) and statuary using a process imported from Europe around the turn of the century known as electroplating or electroforming . About the same time a company called National Metalizing Company also began making this statuary, calling the finish \"Armor Bronze\". After WWI the assets of this Armor Bronze division were spun off as a new entity - The Armor Bronze Company of New York City.

A third high-end bronze clad manufacturer called their finish “Galvano Bronze” – a term coined by and Italian emigrant in New York named Mori.The name was in honor honor of Luigi Galvini, a noted Italian for whom the term “galvanized” is named.By the end of the Roaring Twenties manufactures such as Pompeian Bronze, Galvano Bronze and Kathodian Bronze were gone.The Great Depression swallowed-up most of the“bronze clad” artisans – as the process was deemed to be too expensive and time consuming. Armor Bronze and Marion Bronze were the only two makers left after 1930.
