Charles L (Lorenzo) Whitridge 1880-1953 graduated Harvard 1903, old Baltimore Maryland family line, successful businessman. Was a member of The Maryland Hunt Club and several organizations. cannot find why his name is on a customized chocolate pot. Anyone seen another pot like this with or without a name?
The Union Metallic Cartridge Company was founded in 1867.

I don't think anyone wants(?) a lot of information on different cartridge boxes through the years, but they're on the internet if you want them.
Where did you get the name Charles? The bottom records the name of Horatio L. Whitridge. Here is a picture of Alonzo Whitridge. Have no idea if he is a relative or not.

I haven't found any reference to the Whitridge Chocolate Pot.
