Webster Wilcox patterns


Above, cropped illustration showing three patterns by Webster-Wilcox (International Silver Co.) in Bullock’s department store advertisement in Los Angeles Times (13 January 1978). For more information, see the listing below.


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 below.)
