as For the Manufacturer


Heeren Brothers & Co. was founded in 1867, in Pittsburgh by William F. Heeren and his brother Otto. The company became renowned for its fine craftsmanship and many of their items were in demand overseas. Some of the products included celluloid devices, badges, medals and tokens, decorations and specialty jewelry. Business continued to grow, with 1891 through 1930 the company's most prominent period. By 1924 Heeren Brothers had become the largest jewelry vendor between New York and Chicago, distributing diamonds, watches, clocks and optical supplies as well as manufacturing rings, pins, trophies, medals and badges. Both owners passed away in the late 1920's. The 1929 stock market crash and the ensuing economic depression proved to be the final blow to the company and its various departments were either closed or sold. Though it lives on in fond memories and the objects that it produced, little of the company is left today.

Pittsburg dispatch. (Pittsburg [Pa.]), 29 Sept. 1889.
