Seen in the news at the National Jeweler Network website, B.A. Ballou and Co, Inc of Providence Rhode Island will be up for sale on April 29. Apparently another victim of the current economy, B.A. Ballou recently was put into receivership and will be sold on April 29.
A 140-year-old company, B.A. Ballou makes jewelry and jewelry findings. A quick search found patents that span the life of the company, including one as far back as 1880 for earring findings.
The good news, is that the article notes that there is at least one prospective purchaser.
