Wilkinson

Some really great information has been discovered on Wilkinson over the last few years. The company operated out of Santa Monica CA in the late 60s through 70’s era. They went by the name The Wilkinson Dental Manufacturing Company and were a large supplier of metal castings at the time. Years later they moved to Post Falls, ID. They are still in business today as The Wilkinson Company. Here are a few pieces from my collection. These were purchased from a coin shop in Southern California about 4-5 years back, along with a third button that I no longer own. Makes sense that they survived close to their original home in Santa Monica. Pretty cool history! They also made traditional old pour style bars in 5 and 10 oz class, of which I have come across a few. It’s a special day when you come across a Wilkinson piece. Very rare. Here are the two that I still own today.
