W.C. Callery & Sons Jewelry Store

Description

The front window of this jewelry store reads W.C. Callery & Sons, while a notation on the reverse is dated July 1939. The interior features numerous display cases containing watches, pens, rings, and other jewelry, including an illuminated Westclox display. Three employees and a female customer are visible. Under magnification, a decal attached to one of the cases can be seen advertising “Juliet” and “Wedding Rings,” though the remaining text is not fully legible. Research suggests the photograph depicts the Hartford, Connecticut jewelry store of W.C. Callery & Sons. Period advertisements from 1939 place the firm at 2 State Street and promote merchandise similar to that shown here.
