SILVER ADVERTISING:
MERIDEN BRITANNIA CO
In 1852 six or seven small Britannia ware plants in the town of Meriden were organized by Horace C. and Dennis C. Wilcox
into the Meriden Britannia Co supplying Britannia, Albata and German silver ware, both plated and unplated, to many other firms.
An agreement was reached whereby the genius and skill of the Rogers were joined with the initiative and business ability of the Meriden
concern.
The production of the '1847 Rogers Bros' line continued under the direction of William Rogers and in 1865 the plating shop was
transferred from New Haven to Meriden and merged with Meriden Britannia Co in 1866.
In 1898 Meriden Britannia Company ceased to exist as an independent entity and became part of International Silver Company.
