This collection of Dawkin Benny collectible dies were purchased by Trademark Jewelers in 1995. Dawkin Benny was founded by Henry Hill in the middle 1800's; he sold the business to his two employees, Dawkin and Benny.
The dies were covered with grease and undistinguishable requiring endless hours of labor to refurbish, strike, and catalog. We discovered a pictorial history represented by service awards, medallions, with a glimpse of Island life in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Share with us that glimpse of Island life - check back periodically to view new additions and interesting histories behind each item. If you have comments or knowledge, please contact us so we can address each item with its proper history.
