Redirect

This really shouldn't be a redirect, it's an existing company, and the sentence at Oneida Society isn't sufficient coverage. - cohesion 01:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

Can someone please clean up this article - I've never heard of this company - can't decide if it reads like an advert or not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FengRail (talk • contribs) 19:06, 4 April 2009‎ (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned it up. It is notable -- they are a major player in the area of high-end flatware and are also notable because of the company's rather odd origins, but it read like a sales brochure. It still needs work, so I invite anyone reading this to jump in and improve the article. --Guy Macon (talk) 16:37, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rex-Watson and Oneida School Bus

The article mentions the acquisition of a manufacturing company that built army trucks, aircraft survival kits, and even jet engine parts. This was the Rex-Watson Corporation, successor of the Watson Truck Corp., a small manufacturer of trucks in Canastota, and in trouble when taken over in 1943. Rex-Watson did not offer own trucks, but school bus bodies. The company was renamed the Oneida Ltd. Canastota Division, Oneida Products Corp. (1946) and was sold to Henney Motors, a well-known coachbuilder and manufacturer of ambulances and hearses in 1952, when it became Oneida Products Division, Henney Motor Co. Inc. until 1960. It was then acquired by Marmon-Herrington, and later belonged to National Union Electric Corp. (1960-1967), and Jefferson-Travis Inc., until 1970 (Champion motor homes). 1. 2 The Henney Kilowatt Electric of 1960 was assembled at Oneida School Bus. --Chief tin cloud (talk) 17:47, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
