Third “Made in Piqua” Ornament now available

In tribute to Piqua’s rich industrial heritage Mainstreet Piqua is unveiling their third in a series of collectible “Made in Piqua” ornaments.  The brass ornament features a Favorite stove with the word ‘Favorite’ on the ornament.  The ornaments are designed to look exactly like a ‘typical’ Favorite base burner stove.  Each ornament comes in a blue box that was specially produced for the project by Piqua Paper Box Company.  The cost per ornament is $12. 

Mainstreet Director Lorna Swisher, who is coordinating the project, says the response to the first two ornaments in the series has been overwhelming.  “The Decker’s lard can ornament and the Hartzell Propeller ornaments both sold out within a couple of weeks.” Says Swisher.  We anticipate this ornament will do just as well.” says Swisher. 

“We appreciate the cooperation of Piqua Paper Box Company with this project.  We thought it was very important to have a “Made in Piqua” ornament that could be purchased in a box that was made in Piqua.” she added.

The ornaments are available at the Mainstreet Piqua office, 326 N. Main Street as well as Readmore Hallmark, 430 N. Main Street, Apple Tree Gallery, 405 N. Main Street, Knobby’s Shop, 333 N. Main Street and Tapestry Angel, 516 Spring Street.  For more information contact Mainstreet Piqua at info@mainstreetpiqua.com
