WHO WAS WYLLIE?

The company made semi-porcelain dinnerware


Q: I have a plate marked HRWYLLIE. Who made it and how old is it?


A: H.R. Wyllie China Company was located in Huntington, West Virginia, from c.1910 until the late 1920s. The company made semi-porcelain dinnerware. Before Wyllie started his own pottery, he sold dinnerware. He established his pottery in Huntington after the city gave him the land, money for building, a tax abatement, and free gas.

I have serial No 046 of a 700 count issue of a Confederate Cent Ring. It is 14K gold with a uncirculated Confederate Penny. The ring contains .99 of an ounce of gold. It was issued by C.S.A. LTD Davidson NC. Do you have any idea as to the ring's current value
