SILVER ADVERTISING:
HOLMES & EDWARDS
The firm began its activity in 1882 succeeding to Rogers & Brittin. The plant was taken over in 1898 by the International Silver Company continuing to operate in Bridgeport until 1931 when moved to Meriden.
The process of inlaying solid silver at points of greatest wear was patented by William A. Warner of Syracuse, NY (No 309,-013 of December 9, 1884 and No 337,099 of March 2, 1886). A solid block of silver was inlaid at the critical points preventing the base metal to be exposed to wear.
Holmes & Edwards acquired the patent rights and continued to use the process for a long time in its flatware production.
