Mason & Hamlin was founded in 1854 by Henry Mason and Emmons Hamlin in Boston, Massachusetts.

MASON & HAMLIN PIANO COMPANY 35 Duncan Street Haverhill, Massachusetts 01830 91 Pianos made by: Mason & Hamlin Piano Co., Haverhill, Massachusetts. It was founded by Henry Mason and Emmons Hamlin with funds provided by Oliver Ditson and Henry's father, Lowell Mason. The company was renamed Mason & Hamlin Organ & Piano Co. The company was located on Cambridge St., then 277 Washington St., then 134 Tremont St., Boston, MA 1854-1888. The third contract (exhibit E) provides that if the company fail in securing a patent for the improvement sold to them, referring to his original patent and reissues, and to his sale of the later invention, and his claim to use it in connection with the old patents, he grants to the defendants the exclusive right, under the letters-patent already granted, and under any and all reissues thereof, to make, use, and sell the specific mechanism described and set forth in the application for the new patent.This is just about all the information that's survived the passing of time on the Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. By the second (exhibit D), he licensed them to use this new invention or improvement in connection with his former patents, and in connection with a patent of his of 1862 for an improvement in pianos with melodeon attachments and the company agreed to pay him a royalty of one dollar each for his new tremolo attachment, at an average of forty attachments per month. By the first contract (exhibit C) he sold to the defendant this invention wholly, and authorized the patent to issue to the company. The supposed improvement consisted in a different construction of the parts already patented by him.

For in exhibit E he sells and assigns to the company the exclusive right to use his supposed improvement under the patent of 1856 and all the subsequent reissues, and as this new improvement required the use of the old, he seems here to recognize the right of the company to control the license he had previously granted to Mason and Hamlin.Īs we have already said, Louis signed these contracts with the defendant company on the same day that he made his application for a patent for his improvement in the tremolo. Whatever doubt might be entertained on this point, we think is solved by the fact that Louis, in the subsequent contracts of 1868, seems throughout to treat with the corporation as successors of Mason and Hamlin in the contract of 1861.

The plea does allege that the defendants are 'the legal representatives, and successors, and assignees in business and interest, of said Mason and Hamlin.' This allegation seems to be full and specific and the only doubt of its sufficiency arises as to whether the legal representatives spoken of in the agreement are or can be others than exc utors, administrators, or heirs.

As the case was decided on the sufficiency of the plea, its allegations must be taken as true and all that can be reasonably inferred from those allegations, and from the various exhibits which it makes, must also be held to be true.
