Vintage 1978 HOMCO Cast Metal Wall Plaque Farmhouse Cider Press Corn Sheller Set
This 1978 HOMCO cast metal wall décor set brings the nostalgic spirit of farmhouse life into any space. The coordinated pair features two finely detailed agrarian scenes: one depicting a traditional cider press surrounded by apples and a rustic jug, and the other showcasing a corn sheller with bright yellow corn spilling from a wooden barrel and sack. Both pieces are crafted from sturdy cast metal and hand-painted in earthy browns, reds, greens, and yellows that highlight their textural relief and depth.
Made by HOMCO (Home Interiors)—an American brand celebrated for its decorative wall accents throughout the mid-to-late 20th century—these plaques embody the warm, rustic style popular in 1970s country kitchens. Designed with built-in hangers, they are ready for wall display and make a vibrant addition to farmhouse, Cottagecore, or retro-inspired interiors.
Their colorful, kitsch aesthetic and nostalgic rural imagery appeal to collectors of vintage wall art, HOMCO enthusiasts, and lovers of Americana décor. Both pieces remain in excellent vintage condition with only minimal wear consistent with age.
