      Gabriel history:

            ............. Hubley Mfg. Co. (Gabriel Ind.) The Hubley Manufacturing Company was incorporated in the early 1890s by John Hubley in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In 1965, Hubley was sold to Gabriel Industries

             ............. From 1922, A.C. Gilbert made chemistry sets in various sizes as well as similar sets for the budding scientist, adding investigations into radioactivity in the 1950s with a kit featuring a Geiger counter. A.C. Gilbert began making microscope kits in 1934. A line of inexpensive reflector telescopes followed the Sputnik-inspired science craze in the late 1950s.Gilbert struggled somewhat after the death of its founder in 1961 and the family sold out its shares as the company was never profitable under its new ownership.  By 1967, Gilbert was out of business and was sold to Gabriel Industries,Inc., Hagerstown, Maryland who continued Gilbert's science path in chemistry, biology & geology technology and opens the door for : The Gabriel Science Club in 1972.  In 1982 Gabriel is sold to CBS.
