Avedon advertising in 1946 Harvey Avedon The history of the American jewelry trademark “Avedon” began in 1945 in New York. The owner of trademark was Harvey Avedon (2 January 1908-21 June 2005), East Elmhurst, New York based jewelry designer. Yet, the first use of Avedon name was in 1935. So, according to Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office, on October 2, 1935 Harvey Avedon filed an application for patent registration of two of his designs. The StrikALite models included strikers, vanity tube lacquer lighters, and catalin and Bakelite plastic resin table lighters. He was forced to close StrikALite in 1942 due to limited raw materials, which were diverted for WW2 production. The last production of his StrikALite strikers were manufactured with colored crackle finishes. Soon afterward he the talented designer opened Harvey Avedon Sales Corporation in 1945 and worked there until his retirement in 1976. Harvey designed and manufactured precious metal jewelry (silver and gold were available during WW2) and accessories including his popular streamline diagonal cut deco automatic in both sterling silver and 14k gold. This automatic lighter design was created circa 1942 for his fiancée at that time, who later became his wife. During this period he collaborated with such iconic companies as Tiffany & Co. Avedon was known for his gentlemen’s jewelry – silver and gold cufflinks, pocket lighters, tie clips, belt buckles, and other accessories. In 1977, one of the largest manufacturers of jewelry “Richline Group, Inc” (Broadway, New York, NY) purchased Avedon trademark. Noteworthy, Richline Group Inc owned similar jewelry trademark “Taylor Avedon” registered in 2007. Both trademarks ceased to exist in 2006 and 2011, respectively Condition: The overall condition of this box is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold or silver.
