Is anyone familiar with this partnership? Hollis French notes a firm, Woodberry, Dix & Hartwell, in A List of Early American Silversmiths, but with no location given. Samuel Hartwell worked in Philadelphia c 1840 and several members of the Dix family as well, but the firm is not mentioned in Brix. The mark is on a pair of talon-end tongs Appreciate any thoughts IP: Logged |

It has been some time since this was posted. Perhaps the partnership or the likely related Hartwell, Dix & Woodberry has come to someone's notice? IP: Logged |

pushing the total over 7000, I finally tracked down the principles: Asa Woodberry, Jr. Jewelers and fancy good merchants, listed in the 1836 Boston city directory at 251 Washington. Woodberry died in 1844, so that is the outside date for either of the partnerships, though I have not found a record of which came first.

Woodberry (Asa, Jr) & Hartwell (John W) are listed as jewellers at 251 Washington in Stimsons 1835 Boston Business Directory. There's a Timothy B Dix with the occupation clerk (no business address given) listed in the same directory. IP: Logged |

And there's no sign of any of the trio in Stimpson's Boston Directory for 1832. IP: Logged |
