The History of Evans Case Company
The Evans Case Company of North Attleboro, MA was a huge concern making accessories in America. Manufacturing between 1920 and 1960. Colonel Obed Robinson who was a skilled blacksmith
clock maker began a jewellery / jewelry business in Attleboro in 1807. The 1812 war meant that soldiers needed buttons
so production was changed to suit this purpose.
The Colonel
his son, Otis, are credited with starting America’s first button making concern. As you can imagine button making was a very necessary business
their firm became a huge thriving business
the area was at one time named Robinsonville.
In 1848 Daniel Evans purchased the business then known as R
W Robinson.
It was still a button making company
Mr Evans renamed the company D Evans
Co. His son Edwin followed him into business, however many other companies were also producing buttons
demand for the firm’s wares declined.
The company needed to produce other items to remain viable
this it did. A ‘Novelty Department’ creating picture frames
neck chains for American soldiers dog tags was set up
Alfred Reilly was hired by the company to run this new department.
