Hi All,

Just inquiring if any one knows of "Wanless & Co, Toronto Canada. I think they might of been a Watch & Jewellery firm, any information would be gratefully accepted.

There was a John Wanless that was a watchmaker & jeweler in Toronto in 1869, perhaps the beginning of the company.

Here is a link with information on John Wanless & Company, it has photos of the owners & the store. Looks like John Wanless Jr. kept the business going after his father.
