Atkinson's Jewelry was founded in 1950 by Mr. Ernest Atkinson in Patterson's Corner Drug Store,in Chickasaw, Alabama .                                         

      A  ship builder for many years, Mr.Atkinson was injured on the job. He could not go back to work, so he taught himself watchmaking. That was his entry into the jewelry business. Since the area he worked in was not much larger than a single counter, Mr Atkinson later relocated to another space in the same building. This new space housed four in-line showcases leaving two feet of walking space on either  side of the counter.

      In 1970 Mr. A.Richard Tolpin purchased  Atknson's Jewelry from Mr. Ernest and Mrs Jean Atkinson. Formerly with "Ross Jewelers Inc."he served the public for 28 years.(downtown on Royal Street as manager in Mobileno Wilson avenue w carriesin Prichard, Alabama as manager for twenty years) He continued daily operations for the next thirty eight years. 

      "The Old Man"as he has lovingly been refered to by many of his best customers, past away at the age of 94 in the year 2014.

        His son, Mr. Daniel Tolpin has been managing Atkinson's for 41 years and is now the owner and president.
