About Finest Engraving Inc.

Their combined talents formed Finest Steel Stamp Company, which purchased Stylos Engraving in 1989. Stylos owner-operator Doug MacNeil soon brought his expertise in injection mold engraving to the team.

In 1992, after almost 50 years in the trade, Bill retired and the company moved its headquarters to Manchester, Connecticut. Barry and Doug continued to advance and upgrade the shop, including the newest addition of CNC machining capabilities.

In 1998, Finest purchased New England Stamp Co. of Portland, Connecticut and changed its name to Finest New England Stamp Co. A few years later, the name was changed again to Finest Engraving Inc and in 2008, the main shop was moved to Andover, Connecticut.

Finest Steel Stamp Co. was started in 1984 by William M. Gornall and Barry M. Boyle in Bill’s backyard in Meriden, Connecticut.

Bill was a semi-retired hand engraver with more than 30 years of experience. He learned his trade at International Silver cutting ornamental dies.

Barry started the business in 1974 as a 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional machine engraver.

He cut his teeth at area shops, including Aetna Stamp and Engraving, George T. Schmidt Co., A.G. Russell Co. and Bell Adam Steel Stamp.

He brought us a little skill and knowledge from each business.
