Antique Red Clay PRAY Brick, Robert E. Pray and Co., Greenfield MA drawing of horse Found along with a largeThis PRAY brick is the companion piece (in my mind) to the plaster Lady Victory mold I am posting today! These bricks were produced by Robert E. Pray and Co. of Greenfield, MA, founded in the 1840s and I believe in operation into the 1920s or so, with this red clay brick dating the late 19th early 20th c. I think. An excellent found object I'd say, with terrific font for the lettering, too, and which I like all the better for all of its irregularities
