Author	Topic: W.C. Horn Bro. & Co.
lj123 Posts: 13 Registered: Jul 2004	posted 09-11-2004 11:05 PM I am seeking information on W.C. Horn Bro. Co., and they seem to be relatively unknown. I purchased a silverplated cup made by them this weekend. Rainwater does not list this company, nor have I found any information linking them with silverplate, however my research has shown that they were manufacturers of Cribbage boards. (Far Fetched I know!) W.C. Horn Bro. & Co. Manufacturers since 1846 National Headquarters for Adult Games Salesrooms Fifth Ave Bldg. New York Factory 571 N 3rd St. Newark, NJ This cup has a diamond shaped stamp on the bottom with the words W.C. Horn Bro. Co. inside the diamond shape. Below the diamond is Quadruple. Above the diamond is 1100. Any one else have anything from this manufacturer? Thanks! (lone silver hunter in Utah) IP: Logged
