The Devoe & Raynolds paint company can trace its origins to 1754, when William Post  began selling paints on the East Side of New York. Charles T. Raynolds became a co-owner in 1848 and Frederick W. Devoe became a partner in 1852 in the newly-renamed firm of Raynolds & Devoe.  After a brief split in the 1870s, the partnership was renewed in 1892 under a new name - the F.W.  Devoe & C.T. Raynolds Co. They had offices in two separate locations in Chicago and they  manufactured inks, color pencils, crayons, coatings, etc.
