Fuchs or Duhme?

Postby Jag » Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:00 pm

I found an old candlestick holder that has marks by both Ferdinand Fuchs (NY,NY 1884-1891) and Duhme and Co (Cinn,OH 1839-1910). I assume Fuchs is the maker and Duhme is the retailer, though interested in other thoughts. Late 1880s seems consistent with the style. Fuchs isn't otherwise mentioned in the forum so I hoped it might be interesting to someone.

Hi Jag,

I believe your assumption to be correct. Duhme were retailers as well as manufacturers, it's likely they were the retailer.
