Scot Huntington on December 29th, 2025:
The Simmons & Willcox was replaced by Hook & Hastings in 1884, also within the Bridge case. The H&H was in turn replaced by the Ernest M. Skinner Co. in 1909. Skinner determined the case to be "decrepit" and it was replaced by the local upscale cabinet makers Irving & Casson, with a near exact replica, preserving only the original carvings. The replica Bridge case is still extant, now housing a C.B. Fisk.
