Frank M. Whiting Sterling Silverware Company - A Brief History

By Jon R Warren

Thursday, July 2, 2026

Frank M. Whiting Co. began making silverware in  North Attleboro, Massachusetts in 1878, when it was known as Holbrook, Whiting & Albee. The company became a part of Ellmore Silver Co in about 1940, and that firm went out of business around 1960. Crown Silver Co. of New York later acquired the Whiting dies. The company mark of a griffon and a shield with a W was used up to 1896, and  later a W in a circle flanked by stylized leaves. Some pattern names: Adams, Athene/Crescendo, Botticelli, Georgian Shell, Lily/Floral, Neapolitan/Kings Court, Princess Ingrid, Rose of Sharon, Talisman Rose, Troubadour and Victoria/Florence.
