Booth and Lewis J. Atwood formed a partnership after \"defecting\" from Holmes, Booth and Haydens. Other principals included Aaron Thomas, George W. Welton, and Burr Tucker. Soon after it\'s formation, the firm bought the brass mill of the Thomas Manufacturing Company in Thomaston which had originally been organized in 1854 to roll metal for making clock movements. They also purchased the Hayden & Griggs Manufacturing Company, a similar concern in Waterbury.
Hiram W. Hayden, an original partner of HB&H, contended that the new company\'s name matched the existing company\'s name too closely. A legal battle ensued and Hiram prevailed. In 1871, Holmes, Booth and Atwood became Plume and Atwood Manufacturing Company. The \"Plume\" was David Scott Plume, the treasurer of the new company.1 The company was incorporated in January 1880.
