Hi there,

I'm working on a logo for a B&B in Virginia City. The property is an old victorian gothic revival house built during the silver mine era. I was hoping someone on here might know what manufacturers, companies, and/or hallmarks trace back to this specific silver mine?

Any help at all is super appreciated!

Just to get started, in the bibliography section (link) is a book called Silver In The Golden State: https://www.925-1000.com/bibliography.html
Nevada mines provided a source close to California makers, and of course the big Comstock names all have San Francisco links. There are some few threads on this site about these early California smiths. In addition, select railroad histories provide a great deal on this mining background, and related names. (Virginia & Truckee as well as Carson & Colorado are primary roads.) The long gone Lucius Beebe always had something to relate to this whole era and the "Society" tied to it.

Here's one thread with a name: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1151&hilit=california+nevada

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :)
