HISTORY
Dodge Inc. was the largest and most prestigious trophy manufacturer in the world during the early-mid 20th century. Founded by former Olympic runner Ray E. Dodge in 1930, the company is legendary among collectors because they were the original manufacturers of both the Hollywood Oscar (starting in 1930) and the Television Emmy statuettes (starting in 1949).
