Vintage 1940's BRIGGS MFG CO. Managment Brass Pin Semper Qualitas 1" x 1"
I inherited this rare pin from a dear friend in the early 1970's. He worked for Briggs Mfg Co. for many, many years. After Briggs was aquired by Chrysler he continued there as a Traffic Manager in the Export Import Division.
This pin is a wonderful piece of Detroit history.
The Briggs Manufacturing plants were located in Cincinnati, Evansville and in Detroit on Conner Avenue, along Meldrum and in Hamtramck. Other buildings were located at Outer Drive and the Eight Mile road area location as well.
Walter Briggs, by trade an upholsterer of carriages, after experience as a plant superintendent outside the industry joined a Detroit carriage builder and repairer, B F Everitt Company. Everitt had made some automobile bodies for Ransom E Olds and Henry Ford. Walter Briggs was soon in charge of the shops then became vice-president and then president.
Thanks for looking.
