S.B.
Champlin Company
1872
- 1934
A sharply angled, almost-triangular-plan
5-story brick industrial building, this was constructed by the S.B. Champlin
Company (established 1872) to house its manufacturing of gold rings and
gold-filled chains as well as provide rental space for other jewelry
manufacturers, an own-and-rent practice then common in the jewelry industry and
characteristic of neighboring contemporary buildings in the Jewelry District.
The building was so successful that it was enlarged to the south in 1901; only
a faintly visible seam marks the union of the two sections. In 1978, the
building was converted to condominium use, the first of its type in the area,
and retains mixed residential and commercial use.
Each chain has the original "Sterling Silver" identifying tag. Uncirculated sterling silver vest chains. Ten (10) styles imaged; you pick the one you want. Vintage STERLING SILVER VEST CHAIN with T-BAR NOS Never used complete with a T-Bar and original Sterling Silver I.D. Tag. The swivel is also marked: "Sterling". This is an offering of a single silver vest chain from approx. 1890. Never used or placed on a pocket watch bow. Extremely rare! Just removed from my personal collection after 45 years. Just view the images carefully, select one of the link styles and that will be the one we will ship. Imaged is an example of four (5) styles. THIS IS A FINE COLLECTIBLE. DON'T INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET or BONDS BUY HARD ASSETS SOMETHING PROVEN IN TIME.
