"Golden Wedding" was a Jos S Finch & Co. brand (Pittsburgh, PA). "Old Oaken Bucket" was registered to Charles Stutts Co. of Savannah, GA, although J & A Freiberg were using it also. Thomas gives a history of the company in WBO=W: Jaffe & Co. originated in Healdsburg, CA, established on June 26, 1886, when Louis Jaffe purchased the Pridham vineyards. The company established its Seattle branch on August 4, 1889, orginally operating from a tent on Old Mill St. because a fire had destroyed much of the city.

Jaffe & Co. also operated a saloon and wholesale outlets in Spokane, WA. Brand names used by this company include: "Louis Hunter 1870." Company name timeline: L Jaffe & Co. (1890-1895), L Jaffe & Co.
