<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 109500, member: 44&quot;]After reading you message, Bear, I took a turn around the web finding very little if anything of use. I did find a stein website that went into detail about an O&#039;Hara connected to Waltham watches. Seems he was once a foreman with the company. His job was making the porcelain dials. Around 1890 he and another formed the Waltham Watch Dial Co. When the other man left, he renamed the company O&#039;Hara Dial Co. I don&#039;t remember all the details, but seems the dial business went down the drain and he turned to other porcelain stuff and such like the porcelain on steins.</p><p><a href="http://www.knoxnews.com/entertainment/columnists/joe-rosson/rosson-history-of-stein-winds-up-with-watchmaker-ep-410547367-359649021.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.knoxnews.com/entertainment/columnists/joe-rosson/rosson-history-of-stein-winds-up-with-watchmaker-ep-410547367-359649021.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.knoxnews.com/entertainment/columnists/joe-rosson/rosson-history-of-stein-winds-up-with-watchmaker-ep-410547367-359649021.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another stein website with more info and showing a connection of O&#039;Hara to Lenox:</p><p><a href="http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/pages/pv.asp?p=stein182" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/pages/pv.asp?p=stein182" rel="nofollow">http://www.steinmarks.co.uk/pages/pv.asp?p=stein182</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Wiki... says the company operated until 1950s:</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Hara_Waltham_Dial_factory" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Hara_Waltham_Dial_factory" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O'Hara_Waltham_Dial_factory</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Replacements.com has 1 china pattern listed under O&#039;Hara China.
