Winey Creations vintage costume jewelry
The history of Winey Creations jewelry trademark for the production of bracelets, brooches, rings, earrings and lockets began in January 1936. The trademark owner was Philadelphia, PA based company H. Weinreich Co Inc. According to the records, the company took part in 1939 New York World’s Fair. Noteworthy, H. Weinreich Co Inc. owned two trademarks – Winey Creations (since 1936) and Winey (registered in 1945). Both trademarks ceased to exist in 1960s. This brand’s high-quality, exquisite, handcrafted costume jewelry is a collectible rarity.
Philadelphia at the end of the 19th century was the same center of the jewelry industry in the USA, as Providence Rhode Island. A number of jewelry shops and workshops have sprung up in downtown Philadelphia. Traditionally family owned, most of these businesses have been run by generations of jewelers. Some of them, however, preferring to work independently, set up their own businesses. Thus, the Weinreich Brothers jewelry company, founded in 1911 in Philadelphia, operated at the same time as H. Weinreich Co Inc. Most likely, these companies were related by family ties.
