In 1840 Albert Tifft and William Whiting started their business in No. Attleboro MA as a jewelry manufacturing company and then in 1866 created the Whiting Mfg. Co. and expanded production into small hollowware as well. The Gorham Company bought Whiting in 1926 and all operations were then moved to Providence, R.I.
