Author	Topic: mark of BMCo
Jamie Posts: 2 Registered: Sep 2006	posted 09-12-2006 03:33 PM Hello, Is anyone familiar with the mark, on an old silver and enamel bracelet, of BMCo? The bracelet is shields of the Canadian Provinces and so it may be a Canadian/British Colombian company. I have not been able to find any info anywhere on this mark. Any help would be greatly appreciated. IP: Logged
DB Posts: 252 Registered: May 2006	posted 09-12-2006 06:01 PM BMCo - Breadner Manufacturing Co., founded ca. 1900. Mr. Breadner moved to Ottawa and formed Breadner Manufacturing Co., and built a factory in about 1900. The firm specialized in souvenir jewellery for the tourist trade, also on their production program were souvenir spoons (several dies acquired from a Montreal Company which went bankrupt). In 1930 the business was reorganized as the Breadner Company Limited. It continued to manufacture souvenir jewellery along with badges and emblems. In WWII the firm made insignias for the Armed Forces, but resumed to make jewellery at the end of the war. A lot of new spoons were added, since the company had developed their own die making facilities. After Samuel Breadner's death his son Jack Breadner took over the business, 1956 the firm moved to Hull, Quebec, it is the largest Canadian firm specializing in souvenir jewellery and souvenir spoons. Marks: Sterling BMCo, made in Canada, or Sterling above BMCo ------------------ Dorothea Burstyn IP: Logged
