Founded In Attleboro, Massachusetts, In 1866 By William Dean Whiting, Who Had Already Made A Name For Himself As A Maker Of Sterling Silver With Tifft & Whiting, The Whiting Manufacturing Company Was One Of The Late 19Th Century’S Premier Producers Of Sterling Silver Flatware. A Fire At The Factory In 1875 Forced The Company To Relocate To New York City, Where It Produced Japanese-Inspired Pieces To Compete With Gorham And Tiffany. In 1905, Gorham Purchased Whiting And Made Silver Under The Whiting Brand Until It Was Discontinued In 1926. less
