[6][7] This ownership lasted for twenty years, up until 1948,[6][8] during which it produced some of its finest bronze artworks from sculptors such as Paul Manship and Rene Chambellan to Lee Lawrie.
[9][8][7] The foundry's mold makers, casters, chasers and finishers, and patinaters cast sculptures from plaster and terra cotta models provided by sculptors.
[citation needed] However, for a time until at least 2008, the Roman Bronze Works cast the Heisman Trophy statues awarded annually to the best college football player and his university.
[12] After the foundry closed, original plaster models of major works by American artists Frederic Remington, Daniel Chester French, Charles Russell, Bessie Potter Vonnoh and Anna Hyatt Huntington were auctioned off in New York on September 17, 1988.
[13] Some of the molds were moved to warehouses in Copiague, New York, under the aegis of American Art Restoration, Inc.[14] The business archives were preserved and are now at the Amon Carter Museum Library in Fort Worth, Texas.
