Coin Silver - Copeland & Beiderhase

[gadroon]

Members,
Mark is from a coin silver mug ca.1850

It also has the maker's mark "R. Copeland" and is stamped "New York"
Does anyone have any info on Copeland & Beiderhase. I found a Fuchs & Beiderhase, but they worked ca.1900.
Thanks, Gadroon

Robert Copeland and Bernard D. Beiderhase, New York City, had a partnership that lasted from about 1851 through 1856.

Copeland went on to work as a silversmith in Philadelphia, where he was listed as such in the 1880 census, age 65. Neither man, nor the partnership, is recorded in Darling's New York.
