Like so many successful business, Kennedy Bros. Inc. had a very modest beginning. In the midst of the depression in the 1930's, Paul and John Kennedy were involved in the construction of cottages on Lake Champlain. The two bothers toiled endless hours in their garage, making doors and other components to be used in the cottages. During this time, John developed an interest in household items such as handmade wooden candle holders and bowls. With Paul selling the wares in New York..., the two brothers rapidly gained a reputation for the fine quality work.
In 1937, they opened a store/workshop in Charlotte called Green Mountain Wood Crafters. The shop was short lived, as it burned to the ground in 1942. After World War II, they located a facility in Bristol that became famous for hand-turned wood ware. Bowl measures approximately 8-1/2 x 9". Overall length of piece approximately 14". Staining or possibly burn on bottom - see last picture. See pictures for condition and ask any questions.
