c.w.shumway &sons foundry in 1928 << This is one ID**** contributor's answer to who created the Oscar statuette, however, this answer misinterpreted the question. Generally speaking the creation of a statue does not imply who manufactured the statue.
As it turns out an art director in Hollywood, Cedric Gibbons, designed the statuette. Sculptors George Stanley and Alex Smith did the sculpting. The statue is 13.5 inches tall and depicts a nude man holding a sword and standing on a reel of film.

The original Oscar mold was cast in 1928 at the C.W. Shumway & Sons Foundry in Batavia, Illinois, which also contributed to casting the molds for the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Emmy Awards statuettes. Since 1983, approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago, Illinois by manufacturer R.S. Owens & Company.
