I am in search of information of a silversmith working during the mid 1950s in Pasadena, California. I found online data that stated his business was short lived. My guess is that he may have been employed by Porter Blanchard.

Thanks,
Fred

Hello Fred!

So sorry, I have been trying to find some info on your L.S. Wood silversmith & have not as yet been succesful. However, I want to thank you for your query because it led me to discover another smith named Grant Wood the artist. Just another little known fact in my looking for silver pieces.
Hope you may have found more info on your Wood.

Thank you again!

Here's a couple listings for a Louis S Wood in Pasadena. They're a little earlier than the years you've mentioned, but it's all I can do right now.

1951 Pasadena Dirctory Louis S Wood
metallurgist 1470 Mirasol Dr

1951 San Marino Directory Louis S Wood silversmith and Ingeborg L Wood 1470 Mirasol Dr

There's also a Louis F Wood listed as a silversmith in Pasadena in the same time frame living at 3712 Blanche.

Hello again Fred!

Thanks for the Volund info. I understand a pitcher of theirs recently sold at auction in Sept/oct. Love to know what the results were.

Jersey,
The internet auction site just sold a Volund Bowl and I was not the high bidder.
