Alexander Westerfeld or A & W Refineries is an example of vintage hand poured bars that have gathered a cult following.
These are sometimes referred to as Alexander Westerfall (a common mis-spelling of the former president's surname,) or Aztec Sun Bars. The latter due to the distinctive makers mark on all of the bars.
A & W Refineries were based out of Mojave California and an area with a rich history of refining in the 1970s. Many of their smaller bars show distinctive patterns from asbestos gloves.
The refiner was ultimately charged with a federal indictment for trying to dump hundreds of tons of metal slag into Mexico and the corporation was later dissolved in 1991.
