Company History:
Shields Fifth Avenue was a men's jewelry outlet. They were located at 302 5th Ave. (near 31st St.) from the late 1940s until 1957/58. At that time they moved uptown to 401 5th Ave. to the other side of 5th Ave. at 37th St. The business closed in the late 1960s. The name Shields Fifth Avenue, however, continued to be used as a registered trademark by Watchbands Inc. of North Attleboro, Mass.
