Wilcox Silver Plate Co. Theobald set


Above, design patent illustration of table set by Jean Theobald for the International Silver Co. (Wilcox Silver Plate Co.), (no. D76,434; 25 September 1928). For the design, see 1928 listings below. For the patent, see the International Silver Company design catalogues and historical information webpage.


Originally organized in 1865 as the Wilcox Britannia Company, in 1867 the company’s name was changed to the Wilcox Silver Plate Company. In 1898, the company became part of the International Silver Company and the brand continued.

Later, evidence shows that by 1954 the "Webster-Wilcox" division, combining E. G. Webster & Son and the Wilcox Silver Plate Co., at the International Silver Co. was formed. However, for the historical record, it is incorrectly noted as happening in either 1960 or 1963 in Edmund P. Hogan’s An American heritage: A book about the International Silver Company (1977), (pp. 164 & 170). See the 1954 advertisement listed on the Design Meriden - Webster-Wilcox documentation webpage.
