Does anyone know a metal smith with the name “TEMMING” or “BY TEMMING”? We have seen Jewelry and other smalls in both copper and silver.

Hello June! Try looking for a Martin Koop Temming Art Studio, Saranac Lake NY, 1950's or so. Hope this helps. Jersey [This message has been edited by jersey (edited 02-18-2008).] IP: Logged |

Jersey, Curious where you made this discovery? I have searched in a great many places and never found any information on this prolific jeweler. The designs are simple and well excecuted in copper or sterling silver. I have not seen much more than jewelry. Is Temming an active craftsman? Fred IP: Logged |

Hi Fred! I just kept tooling around till I got this info. I went to my favorite search engine & that unmentionable auction site & kept typing in handwrought, silver, silversmiths, & "all that jazz". Then after gleaning what I could, kept going till I found the info. Sometimes my head just wants to burst. Finally just a lucky hit I guess. I love doing research. My kids always say "Mom's on a quest", & I then become a pit bull! Sometimes you win, sometimes I quit & go back later when my head clears. The info I found did not indicate living or dead....so far. BTW Your work is Great.......wish I owned a piece, maybe someday........ Enjoy the Day & Love what you are doing! Have fun! That's important! Jersey IP: Logged |

The place on the Internet which Jersey sites might be correct even though they don’t say how they know. There is another site with a photo History of Saranac Lake, NY which includes this image: quote: [This message has been edited by June Martin (edited 02-18-2008).] IP: Logged |

It's been over a decade since I was up at Saranac, but I don't remember it there then (of course I might have just missed it). Actually haven't seen much of their work in the region. IP: Logged |

I didn't actually get to the part about the jewelry business, but the town has a great site. Wish every town had something like it. Thanks, Jersey. IP: Logged |
