I recently acquired this umbrella that was bought from a dealership closing auction. I'm looking for more information on when Gregoire and sons were in business. When did P and W (Petersen and Wuestenberg) took over? Was there an Allis dealer prior to Gregoire?  ------------- The Unstyled Collector |

| P and W were in business shortly before the Korean War conflict. One of them was called up (Gene ?) to serve in that war while the other ran the business alone. |

That's a cool piece of history there, Grant! ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |
