<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 222662, member: 44&quot;]Well, the Wilson Silver co. started out as the Robert Wilson silver co. in 1803 in NYC. It eventually ended up in Philly around 1812 and around 1825 his brother William joined him with the company name changed to R. &amp; W. Wilson. The company was located at the SW corner of 5th and Cherry. Later in 1877 the company &quot;disbanded.&quot; Soon after William &amp; his son formed a new Wilson company called Wm. Wilson &amp; Son. This may have been one of their salesmen&#039;s sample cases??? Not sure how thus info can help in dating this case other than later then 1812 and earlier then 1909 because the name Wilson was generic for all the different company names.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/000025.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/000025.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/000025.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>On the following thread scroll down a little and read the 4th message posted by &quot;ellerbee&quot; for a lttle more info on Wilson&#039;s history.</p><p><a href="http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum19/HTML/000881.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum19/HTML/000881.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.smpub.com/ubb/Forum19/HTML/000881.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nathan Stark might have been the sakesman?</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
