PENNSYLVANIA FIREBACKS
Northstar Fireback
In 1979 J. Del Conner revitalized the forgotten art form of the cast iron fireback when introduced two original designs sculpted for modern American hearths. New designs have been added on a regular basis beginning with the North Star Fireback in 1981. This accurate star chart illustrates the procedure for finding the North Star by using the pointer stars of the Big Dipper. In 1982 Del Conner introduced his patented Saf-T-Boot support system enabling the fireback to be held in place, leaning slightly forward if needed, in the hearth without the use of anchors and hooks to hold the casting. In 1993 Del Conner introduced his award winning historic reproductions from the Winterthur Museum. For more information visit www.fireback.com
