Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co. was a cutlery and silver hollowware manufacturer in Wallingford, Connecticut founded in 1866. In 1880 they were awarded the First Prize Medal competing with 44 other silver manufacturers from the United States and Europe at the Melbourne International Exhibition in Australia. By 1895 the company operated large factories in Wallingford and Montreal, Canada, but in 1898 they became part of the International Silver Company, headquartered in neighboring Meriden, to help cope with changing times. Many of their designs have since been collected and put on permanent display by American museums including the Dallas Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Yale University Art Gallery.
