Breadner Manufacturing Company was founded in 1900 by Samuel Breadner in Ottawa, Canada. The firm specialized in souvenir jewelry for the tourist trade, particularly sterling silver souvenir spoons after they acquired the dies from a Montreal company that went bankrupt a year after they opened. In 1930 the business was reorganized as the Breadner Company Limited, and added badges and emblems to their production line, as well as insignias when World War II broke out. After Samuel’s death his son Jack Breadner took over the business in 1956, and moved the entire facility to Hull, Quebec where it remains the largest Canadian firm specializing in souvenir jewelry to this day.
