Baer & Wilde, was originally the men’s division of the Attleboro Manufacturing Co.  (Attleboro Mfg was founded by two German immigrants, Maurice Baer and Samuel Stone, in 1897).  In 1908, Maurice Baer formed the Baer and Wilde division, making men’s jewelry.  In 1918, Maurice Baer’s brother, Lawrence Baer, invented the Kum-A-Part “cuff button” and that set the company up for their greatest success.  In 1923, they patented and the Kum-A-Part design (it provided a more secure fit for dress shirts) which remained in production until 1931.  Their products often featured Art Deco designs, intricate patterns, and materials like mother-of-pearl, celluloid, and enamel. After WWI, they had stopped making women's jewelry, focusing only on men's items, and Baer & Wilde absorbed the Attleboro Mfg. Co. facilities.  In 1936 B&W merged with its regional distributors to form "Swank Products Inc." (renamed SWANK, Inc. in 1941). Kum-A-Part links were not co-branded with the SWANK mark until some point in the mid- to late- 1930s.
