George Kirby, Jr. Paint Company was founded in 1846 as Humphrey,
Kirby & Co. in New Bedford, Massachusetts. A short time
later it was taken over by George Kirby Jr. and the George Kirby
Jr. Paint Company was formed and incorporated in 1909. The
same paint formulas have been handed down from generation to
generation. They are time-tested and proven to be durable and
lasting.
The George Kirby Jr. Paint Co. has had the pleasure of being
featured in many newspaper and magazine articles throughout it's
150-year history. Please enjoy the following article about the company, "Traditional
Marine Paint from George Kirby Jr. Paint Co.": WoodenBoat
