Wellsville Savage

My husband & daughter found a partial brick on our land in Wausaukee, WI that says Wellsville Savage on it. What can you tell us about it?

  3. Just found a Wellsville Savage brick cleaning up an old historical brine and oil spill in SE OKla. I know the well was drilled in 1929 and by the looks of the brick it has been there every since. It was in the area of the old original mud pit when the well was drilled.

  4. I own a 1929 home in Tulsa, OK and one of the bricks inside the fireplace is turned to show the "Wellsville Savage" name. Nice to know they were produced in Wellsville, MO - thanks!

  5. I have several bricks that I've collected, and one of them says Wellsville Savage. Good to know where it came from. Would like more information and will try to research it some more.
