Freidrich Pustet & Co. were publishers of Roman Catholic literature and dealers in church goods, founded in 1826 in Regensberg, Bavaria, and with branches throughout Europe and the U.S. by the end of the 19th century. The company is still in business, though now exclusively a publishing house.
The chalice and paten made from old gold and silver collected at St. Mark’s church, New Britain, have been received from Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co., Wallingford, at whose factory the artistic workmanship was done, the job requiring about two months time. On the base of the chalice a block of gold is set in, made from several wedding rings including one that belonged to Rector Wayne’s mother and this inscription appears: ‘‘St. Mark’s church, Trinity, 1895." The chalice is lined with gold and the silver work is richly ornamented with pearls, rubies and other precious stones. The paten which is of solid gold, is handsomely engraved and standing out in bold relief is an elegant amethyst.
