Born in 1819, George Washington Simons started his business in 1839. The City Directory for Philadelphia in 1842 had him listed as a manufacturer of gold and silver thimbles and pencil cases. His brother, P. Boneil Simons later known as Peter B. was also listed in the directory and later joined his brother in the business. The company grew rapidly in the next 20 years, expanding into manufacturing many other gold and silver items.
In 1893, Simons Bros. and Co. received a medal and award at the Columbian Exhibition. The award inscribed "Gold and Silver Thimbles For a Variety of Designs, Beautiful Patterns Studded with Gems, Fine Chasing, Quality of Jewels and Fine workmanship and Finish."
