labarbedor Posts: 353 Registered: Jun 2002	posted 03-19-2003 02:30 PM Has anyone seen a mark on coin silver that is Geni?ke & Caspary Detroit. The missing letter could be O,S,C or whatever. The piece is a reliquary from the last half of the 19th century. Sorry I don't have a picture. IP: Logged

bascall Posts: 1629 Registered: Nov 99	posted 05-25-2008 01:03 AM This is an old post. In 1884 Henry Caspary was a jeweler working at M S Smith & Co, Detroit, and in the same year, William was a clerk for Traub Bros, Detroit who were watchmakers and jewelers. In the 1885 Detroit City Directory, the two gentlemen first appear together in in their partnership as manufacturing jewelers at 43 Michigan Avenue. IP: Logged
