*Wilton Products can trace its history back to 1892 when Ralph P. Wilton, Sr. began working for his uncle at the Susquehanna Casting Company near Wrightsville, Pennsylvania.  Half a century later, in 1935, Ralph P. Wilton, Jr. expanded the family business through another venture, Wilton Products.  Wilton fabricated his figures in cast iron until 1963 when he developed a separate company whose products were based on an aluminum alloy called "Armetale".  In 1969 Wilton moved to Mount Joy, PA and was bought out by John Wright that same year. In 2010, the four remaining Wilton brothers sold the business to a Reading foundry owner.
