Louise Posts: 22 Registered: May 2001	posted 08-04-2001 03:57 PM [01-0423] Hi, Can anyone help me with some information on the Watson and Briggs Company of Attleboro, Mass? All the info I can come up with is from Rainwater's Book on American Silver Manufacturers. Even there, the info is sketchy at best. It states that in 1934 the dresser ware catalog Watson and Briggs was given as the successor to the Thomea Company. I have a piece in this pattern with cut out Lily of the Valley and would love to find out more about it and possibly a name. Any help would be greatly appreciated! IP: Logged

Fair logo on one side Y emblem on other, Marked Sterling Watson & Briggs Co. Adjustable. IP: Logged

Clarence L Watson was a silversmith, and Fred E Briggs, his son in law, was a lawyer. Arthur M Briggs was a jeweler. In 1920 Watson Co was incorporated in Massachusetts. Clarence L Watson died March 12, 1930. In 1931 Watson & Briggs Co incorporated in Massachusetts. IP: Logged
