The timeline of Tiffany & Co. Company

by Administrator | post a comment

Tiffany & Co. is an American jewellery and silverware company founded by Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young in New York City in 1837. Tiffany jewelry could be the dreams of our women, especially when we hold a wedding.

The first Tiffany catalog, known as the "Blue Book", was published in 1845. It is still being published today.

In 1862 Tiffany & Co. supplied the Union Army with swords, flags and surgical implements.

In 1867 Tiffany & Co. was the first U.S. firm to win an award for the excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universally in Paris.

In 1877, an insignia that would become the famous New York Yankees "NY" logo was struck on a medal of honor by Tiffany & Co. and issued to the first NYC police officer shot in the line of duty. The Yankees adopted the logo in 1909.

The company revised the Great Seal of the United States in 1885.

In 1919, the Tiffany jewelry company made a revision to the Medal of Honor on behalf of the United States Department of the Navy. This "Tiffany Cross" version was rare because it was awarded only for combat, using the previous design for non-combat awards. In 1942, the Navy stopped issuing the Tiffany version.

In 1968, U.S. First Lady Bird Johnson commissioned Tiffany to design a White House china service, which featured 90 flowers.

In June 2004, the jeweler Tiffany & Co. sued eBay, claiming that eBay profits from the sale of counterfeit Tiffany products. As of July 2006, a trial date has not been set.

On January 28, 2008, it was announced that the Japanese mobile phone operator Softbank and Tiffany & Co. had collaborated in making a limited 10 model-only cell phone. This cellphone contains more than 400 diamonds, totaling more than 20 carats. The cost is said to be more than 100,000,000 yen.
