How do you find information about the Meyers and Wenthe Badge Company in Chicago?

Hello All,My husband has sign that was his father's. He worked for Brinks years ago. It is very heavy and in good condition, a few painted areas are worn but the overall sign in perfect. It is shaped like a shield.

13 1/4" Wide x 15" Tall. The sign says;

BRINK'S

INCORPORATED

FOUNDED 1859

MONEY AND VALUABLES

SAFETY AND DISPATCH

on the back of the sign I was able to make out what it said...it's embossed;

ART BRONZE

MEYER & WENTHE

CHICAGO

Can anyone tell me anything about this? What it is worth? Who might be interested in purchasing it? Thank you, Diane Brown (dianern1963@bellsouth.net)

I don't have too much information. However, the company was last at 7220 W. Wilson in Harwood Heights, Illinois. They were bought out in the mid 80's by Everson Ross in Spring Valley, NY.

When they moved from here, most of the custom dies were damaged or lost in transit. Most of the Chicago style badges were lost at this time, and the new owners didn't care.

Many of the styles they used were the same as C.H. Hanson Co.

Meyer & Wenthe office and factory were located at 24 t0 30 S. Jefferson St. A Loop office was at 108 N. Dearborn st. and on the west side at 28 S. Jefferson St all in Chicago, Il. This information was taken from the front of the 1925 Cataloge. I have an original copy as my husband's father was Herman H. Wenthe a partner with Gustuve Meyer who was a brother of Dominica Meyer Wenthe, my mother-in-law. The cataloge is 216 pages long and noonly were policeman badges made there but streetcar tokens , endless stamped metal objects and Herman Wenthe invented the pocket notary seal. The catalogue is facinating. I hope you can find one somewhere.

If I can help you again - let me know

I now live in NYS

I am glad to have found this web-site. My company, Smith & Warren, acquired Everson Ross in 1999. Everson Ross did acquire Meyer & Wenthe in the 1980's. Many of the dies and tooling were preserved and are still located in our factory in White Plains, NY. Any inquiries with respect to traditional Meyer & Wenthe designs can be directed to us via our web-site at www.smithwarren.com.

My January, 2004 answer to the Meyer & Wenthe question was in error.

Dominica Meyer was Gustuve Meyer's daughter not his sister.

Meyer was the business partner and Wenthe was the engraver.

I am the grandson of John Meyer from Meyer & Wenthe. I have the information you need from the very beginning of the company. 4 generations. Please contact me if you would like this information.

Who is the publisher or sponsor of gov sites?

  1. Author
    • Look for whoever wrote the page. If it's not listed at the bottom or the top of the page/article that you're using, look on the "contact us" page or "about us" page of the website.
    • You may not find an individual author. This is okay (if you feel that the site is reputable and reliable). In most citation styles, you would just skip this information.
    • The organization responsible for providing the website is often the author - especially when it's a government site, or a major organization like the American Psychological Association or the Canadian Diabetes Association.
  2. Title
    • You will likely need to find two titles: the name of the webpage you're using, and the name of the overall website that page falls under. My example below demonstrates this: the webpagename is "Bipolar disorder - what are the symptoms?" while the website name is Mind Your Mind. I will need both of these pieces of information for my citation.

Why Wikipedia is not considered a credible source?

Although Wikipedia is right 99% of the time, it can be easily user edited so some things may not be completely correct. Often times you'll find that dates are different for the same event listed on a different page, and this is because anyone can change something.

Who bought Wikipedia?

No one. Wikipedia is a non-profit organization, managed by the Wikimedia Foundation. Before the foundation was formed, it was managed by Bomis. The web site is managed by a clique of elite admins who decide which contributors are accepted and what subject or content is worthy of inclusion.

How often are Wikipedia entries updated?

If I am not mistaken, it is not a 'team' or a group that updates Wikipedia, but volunteers that send them the information they wrote. However, on average these volunteers may be sending info every 5 seconds, every 20 seconds, every 5 minutes, or every hour. We will never know.

Is Lauren Potter dead?

What URL are you using?

Your Url is your web address (for example the web address for Google is Google.com)

every website has a different URL you can see this on your web browser in a bar that's usually near the top. Website's have different sections and categories to help categorize them so that its easier to navigate, for example if you go to a website called fish.com and you click on the small fish button it might show fish.com/smallfish, you can notice how the small fish section is added after the small fish button is pressed, this actually directs you to a new webpage but under the same domain name (domain eg Google, yahoo etc)
