The Gurley Novelty Company of Buffalo, NY started as the W & F Manufacturing Company.
Created in 1927 by Franklin Gurley, the W & F Manufacturing Company was a confectionery company that produced all kinds of candies, chocolates, and wax novelties. In 1939, Mr. Gurley was approached by the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, now known as ExxonMobil, to create a line of decorative novelty candles to help use up the excess paraffin wax that is created as a by-product from refining oil.
The candles were made in Mr. Gurley’s manufacturing plant in Buffalo and sold under the name ‘Tavern Novelty Candles. It was not until 1949 that the company was renamed The Gurley Novelty Company. Gurley produced a variety of small, figurine-shaped candles for holidays, most notably Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween.
