Draper Star

 

Original Draper stars as seen today

Our replica star

----------------------------------------------

Anyone from Hopedale who has regularly walked across the bridge near Draper's will recognize this from the side of the Building. 

Individuals have expressed an interest in obtaining these stars to hold on to the memory of what Draper Corporation and this building represented for Hopedale's foundation and character. 

We have decided to manufacture replicas of this iconic star, with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to one of the Hopedale-based charities.

We now have our first version of replicas available.  These are three inch diameter fridge magnets manufactured out of aluminum.  See our "Products" page for further details.
