Evans Company The Evans Company first started out as a handbag and accessory manufacturing company, originating from Attleboro, Massachusetts as a novelty company in 1918. However, by the late 1920's, the company took on a different path and began to manufacture lighters with a “lift arm system” and lighters with automatic mechanisms. R. Blackinton Co. The R. Blackinton Company was co-founded by Ross Blackinton in North Attleboro, MA as the Civil War raged. It was a full silver house that also specialized in goldsmithing, engraving, enameling, metal spinning, and more. One of its earliest commissions was to supply flatware in the Marie Louise pattern to U.S. embassies around the world. Into the early 20th century, R. Blackinton & Company increased its lines to include, at various times, plated and silver jewelry, dresser ware, fancy table pieces, novelties, and 14 karat gold merchandise. In 1937, the company added an exclusive line of fine Sterling flatware and hollowware for retail jewelers. Eventually, the business was sold and Ross Blackinton, founded the New England Sterling in North Attleboro. Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry pouch.
