Thanks Trev, I was just wondering about that. I hadn't found his immigration record yet, but I know there is more out there about him.

Robert Rait was born in Edinburgh, Scotland 15 Aril 1807 and died in New York City on 1 February 1869. Scots in the Mid-Atlantic States 1783-1883 by David Dobson shows Robert Rait as a jeweler in New York city from 1833 to 1866. Robert Rait is listed on tax rolls as late as 1866 at his business addr...

I have no idea who the maker of your faux pearl necklace is, but it's interesting that the clasp appears to resemble the trademark.

Thank you again Cheryl. I guess these are mint leaves at the end of the sippers. They're well done and maybe make a drink a bit more refreshing.

Cheryl, thank you. Just going by the box '60's fits.

Since this thread began I read that Joseph Rodgers & Son bought out all of the Rodgers in their line of business in the United Kingdom in the nineteenth century. Hopefully, I didn't read it in this thread itself. They of all people could well afford to do so. If this is true that mark may be the...

Wow, I couldn't even decide what the first letter was for sure, and there was no way I was ever going to make out the ez after that on this particular piece. Your information is truly appreciaed, thank you! I kind of figured it was fairly modern, but found its detailed design attractive. With your i...

Jewelers and silversmiths have held some interesting combinations of occupations. Here's one that I just came across: from the Gazetteer & Business Directory for Albany & Schenectady Co, New York 1870-71, Jacob Knupfer, jeweler and lager beer saloon, 28 Howard, City of Albany.

Hello, I'm looking for any background information that may be out there about these drink straws such when they were produced, the correct term to identify them and anything else that is available. The jeweler that retailed them was Frank R Ford Jewelry Co in Norkolk, Virginia (1910-1985). Thank you...

Hello, Does anybody happen to recognize this manufacturer? Thank you in advance.




If the trademark just isn't clear enough, I'll shoot it again.

Frederick J Posey who was born in New Hampshire in about 1817 is listed as a jeweler and silversmith in Hagerstown, Maryland in the 1850 through 1870 census's. He would not have been working in his own right much before 1836.

Tom, I just noticed your response to my question. I apologize for overlooking it.

Curtis J Monson & Curtis J Monson Jr began listing their jewelry business
in the New Haven Directory as C J Monson & Son in 1883.

They are listed as such until 1890 when Curtis J Monson Jr removed
to Redland, California.

I don't have anybody other than the gentleman that Cutten references with one obvious typo in his notes which does nothing to explain the 1820 year you have given for the beginning of Frederick's working period. My question is not just idle. Where does the year 1820 fit into all this, and if it does...

Again, do you have a reference for the 1820 to 1842 working period for this gentleman?
.

Cutten's notes do not match his text. It is reasonable that he would have given the two events, marriage and advertising, chronologically. Or have you seen an actual Virginia Free Press article to the contrary?

Is there a reference for the 1820 to 1842 working period for this gentleman?
