E.A.Bliss (E.A.Co) Jewelry, Purses, Chatelaines Wanted




I am currently seeking items made by The E.A. Bliss Company for a long term book and archive recreation project. The mark of The E.A. Bliss Company can be tricky to recognize and it probably one of the most confusing marks that sellers and dealers try to identify.

Early Bliss pieces will be marked with a circular mark E A Co. The "Bliss" or "B" part of the mark is represented by a honey bee in the upper right of the mark.

SEE BELOW:


Often this mark can be faint and difficult to interpret--Sometimes mistaken as EAC or EF Co, EL Co.






The trademark used from the late 1910's was BLISS sometimes found in a cartouche.

Items that VJC seeks for this project include: mesh purses, chatelaines, brooches, necklaces, sash pins, buckle brooches, hair combs. Most common metal finishes that were use in manufacturing by The E.A. Bliss Co. were either gilt or German Silver and less often enamel or pieces with a jet finish. Brooches, buckles, and purses can be very simple to ornately jeweled.
