In 1824 Isaac Babbitt created a silversmith manufacturing company called Babbitt & Crossman in Taunton, Massachusetts. Within a decade the company was failing, and was purchased by Henry Reed and Charles Barton, changing the name to Reed & Barton. Its products included sterling silver and silverplate flatware, expanding to britannia and other items after the takeover. During the American Civil War Reed & Barton produced a considerable quantity of weapons for the Union Army. In 1924 the company merged with silversmith Dominick & Haff, and their products were selected to be used in the White House. They were also chosen to design and produce the official gold, silver, and bronze medals for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Reed & Barton filed for Chapter 11 in February 2015, citing ongoing pension liabilities and decreasing revenue. At the bankruptcy auction their remaining assets were acquired by The Lenox Company, a competing maker of flatware and tableware.
